NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       sysman_menu - Graphical interface to run system management
       tasks

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/sbin/sysman [-ui cui |  gui]  [-display  displayname]
       [-menu] [-host hostname]

       /usr/sbin/sysman [-accel] <accelerator> [arguments]

       /usr/sbin/sysman [-menu] <name> [arguments]

       /usr/sbin/sysman [-menu] -list

       /usr/sbin/sysman [-menu] -help  | -h

       /usr/sbin/sysman -focus hostname

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Specifies  the  user  interface to be invoked. The choices
       are: Specifies command line interface.  Specifies  graphical
 user interface.  Specifies the display screen on where
       sysman_menu displays its window. If the display option  is
       not  specified, sysman_menu uses the display screen specified
 by your DISPLAY  environment  variable.  The  display
       option  has the format hostname:server.number. The default
       is :0.0.  For more information, see  the  X(1X)  reference
       page.   In a TruCluster environment, some management tasks
       effect the cluster as a whole and some are local to a specific
  cluster  member.   If  a  task  requires focus, the
       "Choose a host to manage" dialog box will be displayed. To
       launch  the  task directly, bypassing this dialog box, you
       can specify the -focus option.  Directly invokes the  task
       with  that accelerator. Any arguments are passed on to the
       task itself. Use sysman -list for a list of the  accelerators.


              If  the accelerator is for a branch of the menu and
              not an executable task, then the menu hierarchy  is
              expanded  to  display the contents of the specified
              branch.  Same as -accel option but the name of  the
              task  as displayed in the SysMan Menu is specified.
              For example, sysman -menu "Manage local users". Any
              arguments are passed on to the task itself.

              The  name  is  for  a branch of the menu and not an
              executable  task,  then  the  menu   hierarchy   is
              expanded  to  display the contents of the specified
              branch.  Specifies the name of the remote host that
              will be connected.

              This  option  implies  that  the  intent to perform
              remote  management  of  a  system  through  a  Java
              client.

              The  hostname  can be the same system that launched
              the SysMan Menu.  Displays a list of all the  tasks
              that  can  be  run  from  the SysMan Menu and their
              accelerators.  Displays help for the SysMan Menu.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       SysMan Menu is used by the system administrator to  obtain
       system  management data and run selected system management
       tasks. SysMan Menu provides a menu  of  system  management
       tasks  in a tree type display, with branches of management
       categories and leaves of actual tasks. Selecting a leaf or
       tasks invokes a task, which displays a dialog for performing
 the task.

       SysMan Menu and its associated tasks can be run  on  an  X
       Windows   display,  a  terminal  with  curses  capability,
       locally on a PC, or  from  a  Web  browser.  For  detailed
       information  in  running  SysMan  Menu  from a PC or a Web
       browser,  please  use  your  Web  browser   and   go   to:

       Online help is available for the SysMan Menu. To get help,

 example launches the SysMan Menu  remotely  on  the
       host named system1: sysman -hostname system1 The following
