amregister(1M)                                                  amregister(1M)



NAME
     amregister - register or deregister the system

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/etc/amregister [ [ -s serial_number ] -r | -d ]

DESCRIPTION
     amregister turns the autoemail configuration flag on or off, generates
     registration or deregistration reports, and emails reports according to
     the autoemail.list configuration file.

     The -r option turns on autoemail and generates registration reports; the
     -d option turns off autoemail and generates deregistration reports.  If
     either option is used, amregister mails the reports according to
     autoemail.list.  If no option is given, amregister asks whether to turn
     on autoemail.  If yes, amregister invokes amconfig(1M) to allow editing
     of autoemail.list, and then mails the registration report(s).  If no,
     amregister will mail deregistration report(s) to addresses configured in
     autoemail.list.

     In all cases, amregister will mail registration or deregistration reports
     only if the value of autoemail is changed.  For example, if autoemail is
     already on, amregister with the -r option will not generate registration
     reports.

     After availmon is installed, amregister should be run to enable
     automatically sending availmon reports, and to optionally configure
     addresses in autoemail.list.  Availmon reports contain system serial
     numbers.  The system serial number is machine readable on all relatively
     recent hardware platforms (see amsysinfo(1M) for the complete platform
     list).  For such platforms, availmon always uses the machine readable
     serial number, and amregister does not allow entering a serial number
     using the -s option.  Otherwise, use the -s option to specify the serial
     number (from the back of the machine).
