Bring remote TSM console to local XTerm

[melvin]

I like to watch entries "float by" in the actlog by running the admin client in console mode. In windows I just create a shortcut with a target like this:



"C:\Program Files\Tivoli\tsm\baclient\dsmadmc.exe" -consolemode -id=<foo> -password=<bar>



The problem is that my TSM server is running Windows Server 2003 and I don't want to fire up a RDP session just to look at my TSM log. Is there any way I can run a native linux admin client and point it to my TSM server and have the log "float by" in a local XTerm window?



I am running 5.2.2 if it helps any.



Thanks in advance.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I am running SUSE 10 on my local desktop.

Oh, duh!



Just install the API and the BA client on the local linux desktop and make sure your dsm.opt and dsm.sys point to your TSM server. Then you can run



dsmadmc -consolemode -id=<foo> -pass=<bar>



Thanks to.... me? :-o
