Greetings, all.

back in the day of 8.1.7, svrmgrl used bequeath - along with the utilities lsnrctl, namesctl and cmanctl. I believe that utilities such as Openlink [odbc] use it also.

If you don't feel like coughing up the funds for NetOp, PC Anywhere or Timbuktu, there is always vnc. Development on that has seemed to pickup lately - check http://www.realvnc.org for the latest ...

I see bequeath and MS Terminal Services incompatibilities to a be a blessing.
Why would you want to have to support users running software on the console, virtual or otherwise - of an oracle server?

Get them back onto an app server or their own desktops where they belong.
