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  "adminis-
     trator"

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 properly, 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  pro-
     vide  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 sysad-
	    min 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  stan-
	    dard  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	signifi-
	    cant  performance  improvement, provided you are running the correct
	    version of sysadmin.

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

     -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.
