NAME

sysadmin - responsible for everything imaginable that may or
may not have to do with the system you're using. Contraction
of "system" and "administrator".

SYNOPSIS
sysadmin [ -ab ][ -cd ][ -ef ] etc......

DESCRIPTION
sysadmin takes care of everything, is generally harangued, must be supplied with coffee, chocolate, and Twinkies(tm) in order to function properly, cannot be exposed to direct sun- light, and must not be allowed to have a life.

sysadmin is not intended as a user interface routine; other programs provide user-friendly front ends; sysadmin is used by everyone who can track him down.

With no flags, sysadmin reads its standard input up to an EOF, or a line which sysadmin wishes to parse, and then proceeds to ignore it entirely and read news all day. When invoked with the -w option, sysadmin reads standard input and responds according to terms of job description.

OPTIONS
-bofh   Go into Bastard Operator From Hell mode.
      This option causes sysadmin to use tools
      stored in the /usr/lib/bofh directory to
      parse the standard input and route user
      tasks appropriately.

-cd   Causes sysadmin to become caffeine deprived,
      resulting in system slowdowns.

-J   Causes the sysadmin to function normally
      while augmenting the standard input with
      coffee(5). Can be used with the -T option as
      well, depending upon which version of sysad-
      min you are running.

-T   Causes the sysadmin to eat Twinkies, which
      can result in significant performance
      improvement, provided you are running the
      correct version of sysadmin.

-Cfile   Specify an alternate configuration file
      (sysadmin.cf is the standard).

-dX   Set debugging value to X.

-fFullname   Set the full name of the sysadmin.

-Bf   Create the sysadmin.cf configuration freeze
      file.

-lname   Sets the name of the "luser" person (that
      is, originator of a given request). -l can
      be used only by "trusted" users (who are
      listed in sysadmin.cf).

NOTES
The -T option should not be used with a version of sysadmin
which is not capable of parsing Twinkies input. Though the
functionality of this command may seem similar to the -b
option, it should not be confused with that or the related
-J option.
