rlogin to the graphics-less system and run 'vadmin' (IRIX 4.0.x) or
'chost' (IRIX 5.x). Make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable
is set correctly and that both the vadmin/sysadmdesktop and the
shared library subsystems are installed on the graphics-less system
(which they are in the default installation).
Under IRIX 5.x, look at the READMEs in /var/sysadmdesktop/rsysmanapps
and /var/sysadmdesktop/sysmanapps to find out how to use 'chost' to
run commands on remote systems. Finally, in a future release of IRIX
5.x, the sysadmdesktop tools will be able to manage remote systems
*without* doing an rlogin.
