sysadmsh(ADM) 06 January 1993 sysadmsh(ADM) 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 In- stallation 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, online instructions for its use may be obtained by selecting the <F1> key. See the System Administrator's Guide for more details on using sysadmsh. Some sysadmsh options must be run from the system console device, or while in single-user (system maintenance) mode. Refer to the manual page referenced by the menu selection for more information. You can set the colors to be used within sysadmsh by editing the files .sysadmcolor in your home directory, or /usr/lib/sysadm/sysadmcolor. See the sysadmcolor(F) manual page for more details. Environment variables sysadmsh uses the environment variable SYSADM 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. SAEDITOR 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 fol- lowing editors is chosen: /usr/bin/lyrix, /bin/vi or /bin/ed (listed in order of preference). The following additional environment variables are used: SAMAIL If not set, the default mailer is SCO Portfolio email if installed, or UNIX mail(C) if not. SAPRINT If not set, the default printer device is /dev/lp. SAUSERAPPS The name of the extensible menu file which describes the User menu area in the top level of sysadmsh. If this is empty or unset, the file $HOME/.sysadmmenu is used instead. Files $HOME/.sysadmcolor Color control file in user's home directory /usr/lib/sysadm/sysadmcolor Default color control file See also sysadmcolor(F) and sysadmmenu(F). System Administrator's Guide Notes A knowledge of vi(C) is assumed for file edit selections, although the SCO Lyrix(r) editor is used when available. Acknowledgements This utility takes its design from the SCO Lyrix(r) Word Processing Sys- tem. Value added sysadmsh is an extension of AT&T System V provided by The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc.
