Server Control Commands

With a server selected in the Remote main window, there are a large number of commands in the Commands section
of the menubar that will affect that server. The following tasks are available:

+

Rescan Media - rescans Media and Models folder.

+

Update Thumbnails - scans for new content and builds thumbnails.

+

File Sharing On - turns File Sharing on.

+

File Sharing Off - turns File Sharing off.

+

Go Fullscreen - if the Mbox software is in Window mode, it will enter Fullscreen mode.

+

Exit Fullscreen - if the Mbox software is in Fullscreen mode, it will enter Window mode.

+

Relaunch Mbox - immediately quits and relaunches the Mbox software.

+

Quit Mbox - immediately quits the Mbox software.

+

Restart Computer - immediately restarts the computer.

+

Shutdown Computer - immediately shutdowns the computer.

+

Show Mbox Daemon - if the Mbox Daemon is hidden on the server, it will be unhidden.

+

Launch Mbox - launches the Mbox software. (This only works if Mbox Daemon is running.)

+

Mount Server - opens a File Sharing session with the server. (Assumes default user name and password, but will
allow substitute entry if the default is not correct.)

+

Share Screen - opens a Screen Sharing session with the server. (Assumes default user name and password, but
will allow substitute entry if the default is not correct.)

+

Make Backup - turns on the "Backup Mode" preference found in the Mbox Server Preferences window. Backup
Mode, when on, disables the output of layer sync and pixel-mapping outputs so that the server can be a hot
backup without affecting the show. (If it is necessary to take over from a failed unit, turn off Backup Mode on the
backup and turn on Backup Mode - or physically disconnect - the failed unit.)

+

Make Primary - turns off the "Backup Mode" preference.
