Managing sessions with Xmanager

Xmanager enables you to create, modify and delete Xmanager sessions. Xmanager supports three kinds of sessions: Dynamic, Static and Xstart. The list below describes each session:

Icon	Session Type	Description
	Dynamic	Xmanager sends a broadcast message on local LAN and finds these sessions dynamically. To find hosts in another subnet, you can add IP addresses in the Options dialog box. All dynamic sessions have the same configuration. To change the configuration of a session, right-click on the session, click Save As, right-click on the newly created session and then click Properties.
	Static	A Static session is bound to a specific remote host. You can create it by copying from a dynamic session or using New Session Wizard. If the remote host does not respond to the XDMCP query message, the icon appears dimmed. Secure XDMCP, Passive and XDMCP broadcast sessions are also considered to be static sessions. You can create a shortcut, save as a file, configure its options or send it to another user via email.
	Xstart	Xmanager can create and manage Xstart sessions. You can also create these sessions in the Xstart program on your preference. Xmanager and Xstart share all Xstart sessions. By double-clicking an Xstart session, you can run a remote X application as easily as it is on your Windows machine.
