Solaris Management Console Toolbox Editor Overview

Use the Solaris Management Console Toolbox Editor to create or edit a Solaris Management Console toolbox.

You can create a toolbox that is shared by a number of other toolboxes, for instance. Or you can include all tools on a number of servers for a particular functionality -- storage, for example -- in a single toolbox.

To Start Solaris Management Console Toolbox Editor

Type smc edit (in /usr/sadm/bin by default) and press Return.

Note: You can start the Console Toolbox Editor as a normal user, but you will not be able to save a server toolbox unless you log in as root.

The Console Toolbox Editor "splash screen" is displayed. The splash screen is replaced by the Console Toolbox Editor window. Depending on tool loading Preferences settings, the Editor will open with a toolbox selected or with a Login dialog displayed on top of the Console. See To Open a Server Toolbox or To Open a Local Toolbox.
