Other information:
1. In most of the windows, right-clicking the mouse button bring up
a menu that contains additional commands.
- If an internet browser (such as Netscape or Internet Explorer)
is installed on the system, you can right-click on a selected
item in the table and select Connect to go directly to the
webpage of that hostname. The Connect menu command is grayed
if the program could not locate the browser on the system.
- If the system has IP and DNS set up correctly, you can query
DNS hostname for either Username or Hostname that has an IP
address. This action can take awhile if there is no DNS
hostname for that IP address. The "Who is..." menu command
is available only when the Username contains an IP address.
Similarly, the "DNS hostname" menu item is enabled if the
Hostname field is an IP address.
2. You can also double click on the column header to sort the data
in the column. Double-clicking on the same column again reverses
the sort order. This feature is provided so that you can group
items in the column and locate them quickly.
3. Instead of requesting information from the server, you can take
advantage of the "automatic-update" feature in the Information Log,
SYS$LOG.ERR, Proxy Common Log and Proxy Extended Log by placing
the cursor at the end of the text in the information displaying
area. If the cursor remains at the "end of file" location for
more than 5 seconds, the latest data from the server will be pushed
to the screen allowing you to view the most up-to-date information.
4. When requesting a large number of records from the server, you
can cancel the request by simply clicking on the Cancel button.
You will be asked to comfirm your decision.
