Some menu options will allow you to display or edit files using available editors (if installed) between:

Select the one you prefer or refer to 'man pages' for more information on available ones.

Note related to emails

There are 2 kinds of emails:

• Results: some menu options will allow you to send results via email (example: license display, log and configuration files). The recipient will then be unique
• Alerts: by default, the alert script will send alerts via email and 'wall' notifications (this can be customized). A recipient list can be defined in this case

Do not use Stromasys email address to send results directly, for example to support@stromasys.com. The sender will be unknown to us, it is then recommended to send results to yourself first and to forward us the mail you received.

Both require 'sendmail' to be installed and configured.
