XMC(1)

NAME
xmc - X Mosaic remote-load client

SYNOPSIS
xmc [ -D | -r | -f <file> ] <URL>

OPTIONS

-D  Enable debugging output.

-r  Reuse flag. If specified, the URL will be loaded in an existing Mosaic window. The default (unspecified) is to request Mosaic to open a new window with the URL.

-f file
    Specifies an alternative xmcrc file.

<URL>
    The URL to load.

DESCRIPTION
xmc is intended to be used as a replacement for XMosaic. xmc is analogous to emacsclient(1) for Mosaic. If the user has already started Mosaic, xmc will instruct the running Mosaic program to display the specified URL. If no Mosaic is presently running, xmc will start one. Xmc has been designed to work in a multi-host environment where Mosaic may not have been started on the server that xmc was invoked from. If the Mosaic isn't on the same server as xmc, xmc will check the list of hosts in /usr/local/lib/mosaic/xmc_hosts or the user's .xmcrc to find try and find Mosaic. The format of the xmc_hosts and ~/.xmcrc is simple. Each line is either a comment (beginning with a #), or line of the format:

    hostname [pscommand [psargs]]

If pscommand isn't specified, then the default ps is used. The hosts will be queried in the order specified in by the file.

FILES
~/.xmcrc
/usr/local/lib/mosaic/xmc_hosts
