NAME
  evmviewer - View events

SYNOPSIS
  Opening the viewer as a process:

       /usr/share/sysman/menu/tasks/evmviewer/evmviewer
	    [-ui ui_mode]
	    [-display display_name]
	    [-filter filter_expr]
	    [-host hostname[:port_no]]...
	    [-input logfile]

  Opening the viewer using the SysMan Menu:

       /usr/sbin/sysman -menu "View events"
	    [-ui ui_mode]
	    [-display display_name]
	    [-filter filter_expr]
	    [-host hostname[:port_no]]...
	    [-input logfile]

  Opening the viewer using a SysMan Menu accelerator:

       /usr/sbin/sysman [-accel] event_viewer
	    [-ui ui_mode]
	    [-display display_name]
	    [-filter filter_expr]
	    [-host hostname[:port_no]]...
	    [-input logfile]

OPTIONS
  -ui ui_mode
      Specifies the user interface to be invoked. The choices are:

      cui   Specifies command line interface.

      gui   Specifies graphical user interface.

      java  Specifies Java interface.

  -display display_name
      Specifies the display screen on which evmviewer displays its window. If
      the display flag is not specified, the display screen specified by the
      DISPLAY environment variable is used.  The display_name variable has
      the format hostname:number.  The default is :0.  For more information,
      see the X(1) reference page.

  -filter filter_expr
      Initializes the display only with events which match the filter_expr.
      See the EvmFilter(5) reference page for the syntax of filter_expr.

  -host hostname[:port_no]
      Attempts to connect to the EVM daemon on the host hostname, rather than
      to the local daemon.

      This option may be repeated to obtain events from several hosts.	If
      the name of the local host is included, a remote connection to the
      local daemon is made.

      If specified, use port_no for TCP communication with remote clients.
      If not specified, use the evm port number found in /etc/services.	 If
      not specified, and no entry is found in /etc/services, use the reserved
      value of 619.

  -input logfile
      Retrieve events from the file logfile rather than from the event logs.

  When operating in the gui mode, the evmviewer application also supports all
  of the standard flags described in the X(1) reference page.
