ss_client(1M)

NAME
ss_client - remote administration of an older SunScreen product

SYNOPSIS
ss_client hostname command

AVAILABILITY
SUNWicgSA

STABILITY
This command is obsolete. It is only provided to allow a more convenient transition from older SunScreen products to SunScreen 3.1 by having a single Administration Station that can communicate with both an older Screen and an SunScreen 3.1 system.

Do not use ss_client to administer an EFS 3.0 or SunScreen 3.1 Screen. See ssadm(1M).

ss_client will be removed in a future SunScreen release.

DESCRIPTION
ss_client provides communication between a SunScreen Administration Station and a Screen running an older (prior to EFS 3.0) SunScreen product. Commands are passed through ss_client and executed on the Screen. Output and return codes are returned back through ss_client to the Administration Station.

OPERANDS
The specified command is passed to the Screen whose IP address is hostname, where it is executed. Output and return code are returned through ss_client to the caller.

For information on how to use ss_client to administer an earlier SunScreen product, see the documentation for that product.

EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:

0   Operation completed successfully.

> 0 An error occurred.
