Web-based System Manager Administration Guide

Working Dialog

The Working dialog displays when long-running actions are being performed on a managed computer. Depending upon the application, it can display as a simple dialog with an animation to indicate that the action is progressing. When running in simple mode, the dialog can be expanded to display details of the action that is executing. To view details, click the Details button at the bottom of the dialog. You can view two types of details:

Commands
The shell script that is currently executing.
Messages
Information being displayed to standard output (stdout).

Conversely, when details are displayed, you can shrink the size of the dialog by clicking the same button to hide details.

Depending on the nature of the application, the working dialog may automatically close when the action is finished. If the action fails, the dialog remains open and expands to reveal message details to assist in diagnosing the problem. For tasks in which it is important you review the results of a successfully completing action, the working dialog may remain open.
