+ Installing the APPX Connection Manager Command ( appxdsvc) 
The APPX Connection Manager ( appxdsvc) command is installed automatically when you install APPX on your system. The installer sets the necessary owner and group permissions for the appxdsvc command.  So, there is nothing additional that you need to do to install the appxdsvc command. However, after you install APPX, you will need to run the appxdsvc command to configure and start an instance of the APPX Connection Service before any remote client connections may be established.

+ Installing the APPX Connection Manager Command ( appxloginmgr) 
The APPX Login Manager ( appxloginmgr) command is installed automatically when you install APPX on your system. The installer sets the necessary owner and group permissions for the appxloginmgr command.  So, there is nothing additional that you need to do to install the appxloginmgr command. However, after you install APPX, you will need to run the appxloginmgr command to configure and start an instance of the APPX Connection Service before any remote client connections may be established.

+The appxdsvc command is installed into the "tools" subdirectory of the directory where you installed APPX. So, if you installed APPX in "/usr/local/appx", the full pathname of the appxdsvc command will be "/usr/local/appx/tools/appxdsvc".

+The appxdsvc command must run with the permissions of the root user.  Therefore, the owner of the appxdsvc command should be the root user and the SUID bit should be set so that the appxdsvc command can be run by users other than root but still be run with the permissions of root.

  Creating and Configuring an APPX Connection Service
-<
<
+On Unix/Linux systems, an instance of the APPX Connection Service is initially created, configured, and started by running the appxdsvc command with the -install option. At least one appropriately configured instance of the APPX Connection Service must be created, configured, and started before a remote APPX Client can initiate an APPX session. You may create, configure, and start as many different instances of the APPX Connection Service as you desire. However, each concurrently running instance must be configured to listen for connection requests on a different TCP/IP port.
