sysman_menu(8)


NAME

  sysman_menu - Graphical interface to run system management tasks


SYNOPSIS

  /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

  -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_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.

  -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.

  -host hostname
      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.

  -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.

       named system1:
