Writing a SCOadmin manager

Register/add the manager to the SCOadmin hierarchy

Once you have installed the SCOadmin application files, you need to add it to the hierarchy so that it can be accessed via the scoadmin(1M) launcher. This is accomplished with a so-called ``post-install'' script entry that registers the application object like this:

   echo "Registering the SCOadmin Foo Manager object"
   /usr/bin/scoadmin -f -c $FULL_PATH/foo/foo.obj
   echo "Done registering the SCOadmin Foo Manager object"

If the management application is to appear in a subdirectory of the SCOadmin list (for example, under the Networking directory) the command looks like this:

   echo "Registering the SCOadmin Foo Manager object"
   /usr/bin/scoadmin -p Networking -f -c $FULL_PATH/foo/foo.obj
   echo "Done registering the SCOadmin Foo Manager object"

When the SCOadmin launcher shows the list of available management applications, it shows a Networking directory. When the user expands or opens that directory, the Foo Manager appears. See scoadmin(1M) for more information.
