Web-based System Manager is a graphical user interface (GUI) application for performing system administration tasks such as viewing users and groups, installed software, and printers and devices; managing logical volumes, users and groups, and resources; mounting and unmounting file systems; configuring the network; and many other tasks. You can manage systems from a locally attached display or remotely from another system or personal computer equipped with a web browser.
The Web-based System Manager GUI provides point-and-click control of objects, which provides an alternative to learning and using commands or SMIT.
