sysadm(1m) DG/UX 4.30 sysadm(1m)
NAME
sysadm - menu-driven system administration program
SYNOPSIS
sysadm [ argument ]
DESCRIPTION
Only a superuser can use the sysadm command.
The sysadm program is a menu-driven set of procedures for
doing system administration tasks. Menu screens with
interactive queries help you choose and execute the commands
to administer the system. When you select a function,
represented by a menu selection, the sysadm program passes
control to that function. The function queries you for
information, confirms the information you supply, and
carries out your request.
If you type sysadm without an argument, the top level menu
of system administration subcommands is displayed. Select
again to go to the function of your choice. If a subcommand
is used as an argument to the sysadm command, the menu of
the subcommand is displayed, that is, you go directly to
that subcommand without seeing the Main Menu.
For a complete explanation of the sysadm program, see
Installing and Managing the DG/UX System. The information
on this reference page is meant to serve as an outline of
sysadm's functionality.

number followed by a question mark. If you don't understand
a query, type a question mark. For example, typing 7? will
display a help message on usermgmt usage.
To Exit
To exit at any time, type q or Q. At the menu level, q
takes you all the way out to the shell. At the query level,
q takes you back to the previous menu. To exit temporarily
to perform a shell command, type !command. For example, you
could stop in the middle of interacting with lpmgmt
dialogues and type !mailx diablo to send a mail message to
diablo. At the conclusion of the mailx command, you are
returned to your previous position in the sysadm program.
Navigating in Sysadm
Use the ^ entry to back up one menu at a time if you are at
the menu selection level. You can always get out with q,
