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 sup-
       plied  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 en-
       tirely and read news all	day. When invoked with the -w option, sysadmin
       reads standard input and	responds according to terms  of	 job  descrip-
       tion.

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 sig-
	      nificant 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.
