SYSADMIN(1)						      General Commands Manual						       SYSADMIN(1)

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 alcohol in order to function  prop-
       erly, cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, 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 [her] 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.

       -b     causes  the sysadmin to function normally while augmenting the standard input with beer(5).  Can be used with the -t option as well,
	      depending upon which version of sysadmin you are running.

       -t     causes the sysadmin to smoke tobacco, 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 debuggin 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 only be used 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 tobacco input.   Though  the  functionality	of
       this command may seem similar to the -b option, it should not be confused with that or the related -c option.
