.SH SYNOPSIS
'nh
.fi
.ad l
\fBnxdialog\fR \fI[-h] [--dialog DIALOG_TYPE] [--message TEXT]
         [--caption CAPTION] [--display DISPLAY] [--parent AGENTPID]
         [--window WINDOW] [--class DLGCLASS] [--local]
         [--allowmultiple]\fR

.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBnxdialog\fR is a GUI helper that can be used with nxagent to provide
user interaction on certain events inside nxagent. It adds graphical
widgets (menus, dialog boxes, etc.) to nxagent that allow a smarter user
interaction with the agent.
.PP
\fBnxagent\fR is not using \fBnxdialog\fR by default, set the
\fI$NX_CLIENT\fR environment variable to make the \fBnxdialog\fR path known to
\fBnxagent\fR.
.PP
If you want to disable \fBnxdialog\fR usage in \fBnxagent\fR, then make
sure that the \fI$NX_CLIENT\fR environment variable is unset.
