 Name

    menumerge - merge sysadmmenu(F) files

 Syntax

    menumerge menulist addlist

 Description

    This program is intended for developers who wish to customise the exten-
    sible menus found in sysadmsh(ADM).  These new menu entries would perhaps
    allow the customer to run configuration programs particular to the prod-
    uct being supplied.  The menumerge utility would usually be run once from
    an installation script, merging in the extra menu entries from the file
    addlist, present on the installation media, into the menulist file chosen
    from the following list;

    _________________________________________________________________________
    menulist file                      Extensible menu area


    _________________________________________________________________________
    /usr/lib/sysadm/.menu-execute      System -> Execute
    /usr/lib/sysadm/.menu-hardware     System -> Hardware
    /usr/lib/sysadm/.menu-kernel       System -> Configure -> Kernel
    /usr/lib/sysadm/.menu-network      System -> Configure -> Network
    /usr/lib/sysadm/.menu-other        System -> Configure -> Other

    The addlist file must be in the same sysadmmenu(F) format as the menulist
    file.  The suggested method for producing and testing such an addlist
    file is as follows:

    1. From the shell, rename the file $HOME/.sysadmmenu, if it exists.

    2. Start sysadmsh, and select Systemu -> Configure -> Menus .

    3. Select the User menu entry for configuration.

    4. Edit the User menu entry, such that it contains all the menu entries
       that are to be added to the above menulist argument.

    5. When you have finished editing the menu area, check that the menu
       works by selecting the User entry from the top level of sysadmsh.
       Repeat from step 2 where necessary.

    6. When the menu area is correct, quit from sysadmsh.

    7. Move the file $HOME/.sysadmmenu into the development source tree, or
       onto the installation media, and add the appropriate menumerge command
       to the installation script.

    8. If need be, replace the original $HOME/.sysadmmenu.

    9. Run the installation script, and test that the appropriate extensible
       menu areas in sysadmsh contain the new merged entries.
