Should be in same way as from Windows - unpack appropriate archive to some directory, set executable attribute for nxmc, and run it. You will need Java runtime environment version 1.6, and JAVA_HOME environment must be set correctly. Alternatively to setting JAVA_HOME, you can create symbolic link called jre pointing to your Java runtime home inside nxmc directory (on same level with nxmc executable).

What is server jobs?

It's some (possibly lengthy) process inside server, which can be observed, cancelled, and restarted by administrator. Currently only policy deployment and file transfer to agents implemented as jobs.

What is policies?

Policy is some kind of instructions for agents, which can be deployed to set of agents and removed from agents. Currently only one type of policy is implemented - configuration file policy. 1.1.x agents can have directory with additional configuration files - all configs are merged on startup. With configuration file policies, you can deploy parts of config to groups of agents - for example, if you have configuration of Windows performance counters, you can now create a policy and deploy on agents, instead of editing each agent's configuration file.

I plan to implement missing features in short time (there not so much development left) so old console can be completely dropped, and then focus on improving network management capabilities and developing web UI.
