UNIX X-Windows version of QnA (xqna)

Does anyone actually use this or is the primary usage of QnA the “qna” binary that we provide? I know many people don’t use X to get to a remote box anymore but wondering if there was any usage of this part of the product.

I use qna as opposed to xqna to test out relevance on a nix based endpoint.

I’d like to use xqna but not sure how to make it work?

yea got it working, yes looks useful easier then the command line version.

What I usually do on Linux is to keep two terminals open.
In one, I’m using ‘vi’ to edit a file containing my queries. Like
vi /tmp/query.qna

In the other, I’m in the /opt/BESClient/bin directory executing qna to read the file and give output.
./qna /tmp/query.qna

The query.qna is text formatted like a Fixlet Debugger query. It may contain multiple queries.

Q: now

Q: name of operating system

That lets me use normal text-editing, insert, delete, copy, etc. that don’t work so well in the QNA shell.
