The Add Custom Menu link displays options for you to configure and add custom menus.

To add a Custom Menu to HP SMH (HP-UX only):

  1. Select SettingsMenusAdd Custom Menu.

  2. For Type, specify whether the menu will be a command execution, an X application launch, or a link to another Web site or Web application.

  3. For Page, specify which page within the HP SMH pages the menu should be under. For example, you can specify Home, Tasks, Settings, Tools, or Logs.

  4. For Category, specify a category (box) for the menu to be placed under. You can provide the name of an existing category or enter a new category, which will be created.

  5. For Tool Name, enter the name of the menu as you want it to appear under the Page and Category specified.

  6. For Command/URL, enter the actual command line to the command or X application, or the URL to the Web page that will be the target of the link.

  7. For Run as root, the check box on the right will determine whether the command should be run as the root user. If checked, then only HP SMH users with Administrator privileges will be allowed to run this menu.

Only HP SMH users with Administrator authorization can create menus and can run custom menus that are set to run as the user "root". For HP SMH users with Operator or User authorization, the custom menus they are allowed to run will run as the actual user id of the user logged in.

These custom menus are stored and managed in the /opt/hpsmh/data/htdocs/xlaunch/custom_menus.js file, which can be manually copied from one system to other systems.
