tarantella option [ option-specific-arguments ]
You control Secure Global Desktop from the command line using the
/opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella command.
Don't try to control the Secure Global Desktop server by running
binaries directly, or by using kill. Using the
tarantella command is the only supported way of controlling
the Secure Global Desktop server.
The options let you control the Secure Global Desktop server in
different ways, or produce information about the Secure Global Desktop
server. The tarantella command can be used in your own
shell scripts to help automate your administration of
Secure Global Desktop.
If the Secure Global Desktop server is running, most tarantella options can be run by root or any user in the ttaserv group. The ttaserv group does not have to be the user's primary or effective group. See the table below for details of which user can use the command options.
If the Secure Global Desktop server is stopped, only root can use the tarantella command.
