3.TH SYSADMIN 1 "25 September 1995"
4.SH NAME
5sysadmin \- responsible for everything imaginable that may
6or may not have to do with the system you're
7using.  Contraction of "system" and "administrator"
8.SH SYNOPSIS
9.B sysadmin [\-ab] [\-cd] [\-ef] etc......
10.SH DESCRIPTION
11.LP
12.B sysadmin
13takes care of everything, is generally harangued, must
14be supplied with coffee, chocolate, and alcohol in order to
15function properly, cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, and must
16not be allowed to have a life.
17.LP
18.B sysadmin
19is not intended as a user interface routine; other
20programs provide user-friendly front ends;
21.B sysadmin
22is used
23by everyone who can track him [her] down.
24.LP
25With no flags,
26.B sysadmin
27reads its standard input up to an
28EOF, or a line which
29.B sysadmin
30wishes to parse, and then
31proceeds to ignore it entirely and read news all day. When
32invoked with the \-w option,
33.B sysadmin
34reads standard input
35and responds according to terms of job description.
36.SH OPTIONS
37.TP
38-bofh
39Go into Bastard Operator From Hell mode.
40This option causes sysadmin to use tools
41stored in the /usr/lib/bofh directory to
42parse the standard input and route user
43tasks appropriately.
44.TP
45-cd
46causes sysadmin to become caffeine-deprived,
47resulting in system slowdowns.
48.TP
49-b
50causes the sysadmin to function normally
51while augmenting the standard input with
52beer(5).  Can be used with the \-t option
53as well, depending upon which version of
54.B sysadmin
55you are running.
56.TP
57-t
58causes the sysadmin to smoke tobacco, which
59can result in significant performance
60improvement, provided you are running the
61correct version of sysadmin.
62.TP
63-Cfile
64Specify an alternate configuration file
65(sysadmin.cf is the standard).
66.TP
67-dX
68set debuggin value to X.
69.TP
70-fFullname
71Set the full name of the sysadmin.
72.TP
73-Bf
74Create the sysadmin.cf configuration
75freeze file.
76.TP
77-lname
78Sets the name of the "luser" person (that
79is, originator of a given request). -l can
80only be used by "trusted" users (who are
81listed in sysadmin.cf).
82.SH NOTES
83The \-t option should not be used with a version of sysadmin
84which is not capable of parsing tobacco input.  Though the
85functionality of this command may seem similar to the \-b
86option, it should not be confused with that or the related
87\-c option.
