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. 88
