 Control settings for the Java environment and GUI backgrounds.
 Run any console command.
 Close the X Server--Graphical Console application.
To restart the Graphical Console, enter STARTX at the System
Console prompt.
When NetWare is installed, the server console defaults to the Graphical
Console screen. However, you can toggle between screens when you need
access to the command line or if you choose to keep MONITOR loaded. For
the procedure for toggling between console screens, see “Viewing and
Accessing Server Console Screens” on page 50.
HINT: For information on bypassing the server splash screen or replacing it with a
screen of your own choice, see “Starting the Server” on page 48 and SERVER in
Utilities Reference.
Be aware of the following console security issues:
 Unauthorized access of the server console. Control keyboard access by
requiring the use of a password. See “Securing the Server Console” on
page 67.
Use the SECURE CONSOLE command to secure your console against
breaches of security. (See SECURE CONSOLE in Utilities Reference.)
You can also use the screen saver and console-locking features in
SCRSAVER. (See SCRSAVER in Utilities Reference.)
 Software tampering. An expert could use the built-in debugger to
disable or bypass the security system. To prevent this, use SECURE
CONSOLE.
 Hardware tampering. Keep your server in a secure location. An intruder
could disable the power-on password or remove hard disks to access data.
