sysman_menu(8)
NAME
  sysman_menu - Graphical interface to run system management tasks

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

  /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
  -ui Specifies the user interface to be invoked. The choices are:

      cui     Specifies command line interface.

      gui     Specifies graphical user interface.

  -display display_name
      Specifies the display screen on where sysman_station displays its
      window. If the display option is not specified, sysman_station 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.

  -focus cluster_member_name
      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.

  -accel accelerator arguments
      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.

  -menu menu_name arguments
      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.

  -list
      Displays a list of all the tasks that can be run from the SysMan Menu
      and their accelerators.

  -help
      Displays help for the SysMan Menu.

DESCRIPTION
  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:
  http://your_machine_name:2301/SYSMAN/index.html.

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

RESTRICTIONS
  You must have root privileges to perform most tasks with this application.
  You can grant root privileges for specific users or groups of users using
  the Division of Privileges (DOP) application. See the dop(8) reference page
  and the online help in the sysman dopconfig application for additional
  information.

  You must have the root privileges to execute some of the tasks on the
  SysMan Menu.

   1.  The following example shows how to launch the Manage local users task
       from the command line using an accelerator name:
	    sysman -accel users

   2.  The following example shows how to invoke SysMan Menu in curses mode:
	    sysman -ui cui

   3.  The following example shows how to get a listing of tasks and their
       accelerators:

   4.  The following example, displays the status of the NFS related daemons
       on a remote cluster member:
