 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, 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:

    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 con-
                  siders 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 following 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(ADM).  If this
                  is empty or unset, the file $HOME.sysadmmenu is used
                  instead.
