Use Jconfig to configure Hummingbird applications on any network host running Jconfig Daemon. Jconfig is a three-tier administration tool that lets you connect from a client machine to a user host and configure that machine. Thus, you do not need to do your configurations on the actual user host.
You can use Jconfig to make a variety of configurations. You can create application-specific profiles for users, install shortcuts on user desktops, monitor and log user activities, or send messages to user machines. As well, you can use Jconfig to configure remote PCs one at a time or to create script files that, when played back, customize the configuration of multiple remote PCs. Jconfig can be used with many different Hummingbird products and applications. You can configure Exceed, HostExplorer, NFS Maestro, or HostExplorer Print Services.
