3: Using TPM
Send Command to Host (Configuration Function Menu)
Use this function to spawn a command line to the IRIX/Linux host that you are
communicating with.
Note: The Windows OS does not support Send Command to Host . Therefore, it does not
appear on the main menu.
When the program terminates, the resulting page is returned. In addition, any error
messages going to
stderr appear at the top of the result window. The output buffer is
truncated to the first 95 KB worth of data.
This command is typically used to perform mounts, but TPM doesn’t care what you do.
Remember also that the command will be run as root, so please view the caveats above.
To run the command, click
Send Command To Host on the main menu. The screen
shown in Figure 3-48 appears.

Note: Use only non-interactive commands (those that do not require a user response).
Type the appropriate command, then click
EXECUTE
.
