XMC(1) USER COMMANDS XMC(1)
NAME
xmc - X Mosaic remote-load client
SYNOPSIS
xmc [ -_D | -_r | -_f <_f_i_l_e> ] <URL>
OPTIONS
-D Enable debugging output.
-r Reuse flag. If specified, the URL will be loaded in an
existing Mosaic window. The default (unspecified) is
to request Mosaic to open a new window with the URL.
-f file
Specifies an alternative xmcrc file.
<URL>
The URL to load.
DESCRIPTION
xmc is intended to be used as a replacement for XMosaic. xmc
is analogous to emacsclient(1) for Mosaic. If the user has
already started Mosaic, xmc will instruct the running Mosaic
program to display the specified URL. If no Mosaic is
presently running, xmc will start one. Xmc has been designed
to work in a multi-host environment where Mosaic may not
have been started on the server that xmc was invoked from.
If the Mosaic isn't on the same server as xmc, xmc will
check the list of hosts in /usr/local/lib/mosaic/xmc_hosts
or the user's .xmcrc to find try and find Mosaic.
The format of the xmc_hosts and ~/.xmcrc is simple. Each
line is either a comment (beginning with a #), or line of
the format:
_h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e [_p_s_c_o_m_m_a_n_d [_p_s_a_r_g_s]]
If pscommand isn't specified, then the default ps is used.
The hosts will be queried in the order specified in by the
file.
