NAME¶

nxdialog - NX Dialog Helper

SYNOPSIS¶

nxdialog [-h] [--dialog DIALOG_TYPE] [--message TEXT]
[--caption CAPTION] [--display DISPLAY] [--parent AGENTPID]
[--window WINDOW] [--class DLGCLASS] [--local]
[--allowmultiple]

DESCRIPTION¶

nxdialog is a GUI helper that can be used with nxagent to provide user interaction on certain events inside nxagent. It adds graphical widgets (menus, dialog boxes, etc.) to nxagent that allow a smarter user interaction with the agent.

nxagent is not using nxdialog by default, set the $NX_CLIENT environment variable to make the nxdialog path known to nxagent.

If you want to disable nxdialog usage in nxagent, then make sure that the $NX_CLIENT environment variable is unset.
