Linux-based Supervisor

Supervisor software is available targeted for a specific Linux-based platform: an Intel-based PC platform running the OS of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. NiagaraAX installation on this platform is done as user "root" using the supplied "Bash" install script. This results in a "niagarad" user and group added, where almost all of the installed software files use niagarad as both owner/group.

During the install script process, existing users of the Linux host platform can be added as Workbench users. This includes menu options to start Workbench and/or the Niagara Console application at the Supervisor machine.

Refer to the Engineering Notes document "Linux AX Supervisor Notes" for further installation details.
