2.8   Launching Tornado

Are you ready to try Tornado? The launcher is a good place to start; it provides access to all other Tornado facilities. Execute the following command:

% launch & 

The list on the left of the launcher window shows the targets currently available on your network. Click on one to select it, and you can see a display similar to Figure 2-9, summarizing the characteristics of that target. To explore the Tornado tools, click on any of the buttons along the bottom of the launcher screen.

See 3. Launcher for a detailed discussion of the launcher facilities, and the remaining chapters in this guide discuss each of the other Tornado tools (which you can reach either from the command line or from the launcher).

But it's safe to play around. You may want to take a break from reading, and experiment with Tornado now!
