ChorusOS Configuration Tools

The ChorusOS configuration tools enable you to configure the ChorusOS operating system. The tools also enable configuration of system components (OS) and actors that may be part of the ChorusOS operating system image.

There are two methods of viewing and modifying the characteristics of a system image:

• Ews - graphical interface

• Configurator - command-line interface

The examples in this chapter use Ews to add applications to the system image. For more information on the configuration tools, see "Configuration Tools" in the ChorusOS 5.0 System Administrator's Guide.

Using Ews

The graphical configuration tool, Ews, requires Sun Java JDK 1.2 (JAVA 2) or higher to be installed, and the location of the Java virtual machine to be set in your path. For a complete description of Ews, refer to "Configuration Tools" in the ChorusOS 5.0 System Administrator's Guide.

To start Ews and open an existing configuration file, type:

$ews -c <path>/ChorusOS.xml

The optional config-file specifies the path of the ChorusOS operating system configuration file conf/ChorusOS.xml to open when starting.

To start ews without opening a file, simply type:

$ ews
