Refresh schedule

In Server Management, the schedule for the Distributor object, which determines when the Distributor reads eDirectory for new Distributions or changes to any of its Distributions. If new Distributions are found, the Distributor builds the new Distributions according to the Distribution object's Build schedule; if changes to existing Distributions are found, the Distributor rebuilds the existing Distributions according to the Distribution object's Build schedule.

In Desktop Management, an application that is launched in place of another application when Novell Application Launcher^TM is running in remote mode.

Remote Control policy

In Desktop Management, a policy that sets parameters for managing remote user functions, such as whether to prompt users for permission to remotely control their workstations. This policy is contained in the User package and the Workstation package. You may override the Remote Control policy defined in User Package and Workstation Package by directly defining it in the User object and Workstation object, respectively.

Remote Execute

In Desktop Management, a Remote Management component that runs any executable on the managed workstation.

Remote Management

In Desktop Management and Server Management, a component (RConsoleJ) that lets administrators remotely manage workstations and servers from a central location.
