Writing a SCOadmin manager

Adding managers to the SCOadmin hierarchy

Once you have created a SCOadmin application, you have the option of adding it to the hierarchy so that it can be accessed via a desktop icon or with the SCOadmin launcher (graphical and character).

Preparing a new manager for use requires the following:

create a desktop object with necessary support files (including icon pixmaps, activation files, title, and message files) as described in detail in scoadmin(F).
use the scoadmin command line to copy the application into the hierarchy.

The scoadmin command is used to add, update and delete managers from the hierarchy. The following example copies an application called Cat Manager.obj from /tmp to a new folder in the hierarchy called Demos:

scoadmin -p Demos -l /tmp/"Cat Manager.obj"

See scoadmin(ADM) for more information.
