     SYSADMSH(ADM)                        UNIX System V



     Name
          sysadmsh - menu driven system administration utility


     Syntax
          sysadmsh


     Description
          sysadmsh  is  an  easy-to-use  menu  interface  designed  to
          provide  novice  users  with the tools needed for day-to-day
          system administration of the UNIX system.

          WARNING: sysadmsh does not replace  the  documentation.   It
          provides  an  overview  of  available  system administration
          features and a reminder of tasks which need to be  performed
          regularly.   An understanding of the Installation Guide, the
          System  Administrator's  Guide,  and  the  User's  Guide  is
          necessary to use sysadmsh.


     Usage
          sysadmsh menus can be invoked by logging in  as  the  super-
          user (root) and entering:

               sysadmsh

          at the shell prompt.

          Once you are in sysadmsh, on-line instructions for  its  use
          may be obtained by selecting the <F1> key.

          Some sysadmsh options must be run from  the  system  console
          device.   Some  options  must  be  run  while in single user
          (system maintenance) mode.  Check the  documentation  manual
          page referenced by the menu selection for more information.


     Environment Variables
          sysadmsh uses the following environment variables:

          ⊕  SCOLIB  is  used  to  locate  the  tcap  directory  which
             contains   various   terminal-specific  O/A  files.   The
             location procedure is:

                  the directory .tcap/ terminal type is  searched  for
                  in the user's home directory, if this does not exist
                  then,

                  the directory  $(SCOLIB)  /tcap/  terminal  type  is
                  searched for, if this does not exist then,

                  the directory .tcap/generic is searched for  in  the
                  user's home directory, if this does not exist then,

                  The directory $(SCOLIB) /generic is searched for.


          If the  SCOLIB  variable  is  not  explicitly  set  then  it
          defaults to /usr/lib/sco

          ⊕  SYSADM is used to find the O/A prompt file libstrs,  plus
             the menu, form and help files.

          There  are  three  environment  variables   which   sysadmsh
          considers  to locate the editor it calls. SA_EDITOR is tried
          first, if this is null then VISUAL is tried, then EDITOR.

          If none of the editor environment variables  are  set  then,
          one  of  the  following  editors  is chosen: /usr/bin/lyrix,
          /bin/vi or /bin/ed (listed in decreasing preference).

          The following additional environment variables are used:

          SA_MAIL   If not set, the default mailer  is  SCO  Portfolio
                    email  if  installed,  or  regular UNIX mail(C) if
                    not.

          SA_PRINT  If not set, the default printer device is /dev/lp.

     Notes
          A knowledge of vi(C) is assumed for  file  edit  selections,
          although the SCO LyrixO editor is used when available.


     Acknowledgements
          This utility takes  its  design  from  the  SCO  Lyrix  Word
          Processing System.


     Value Added
          sysadmsh is an extension of AT&T System V  provided  by  the
          Santa Cruz Operation.
