Name
       opser - interactive program for system maintenance

Syntax
       opser

Description
       The  program  is a utility that simplifies normal system and incremental backup.  It is invoked by default when the system operator logs in
       to the operator account.  The system then runs the utility in place of a shell.	The utility prompts the operator to bring  the	system	to
       single-user  mode  for  file maintenance. This includes a file system consistency check and file system backup, and then prompts to restart
       multiuser mode.

       Network allows the operator to perform commands on a slave system. The master system name must be in the file on the slave system  and  the
       slave  name  in the in the master system's file.  If necessary, the operator can escape to the shell, execute commands, and return.  Online
       help is provided.  The program allows remote file system backup, file system check, restart and both local and remote shell command  execu-
       tion.

Restrictions
       o   The local utility supports only tape as a backup media.

       o   The remote utility allows backup to files, disks, or tapes.

       o   The utility must be run from the system console; if run from a terminal, its operation is limited.

       o   The utility does not contain file restore capability.

       o   The operator must escape to the shell to perform this function.

Diagnostics
       Included in the utility as it runs.
