SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/sysman [-ui cui | gui] [-display displayname] [-menu] [-host
hostname]
/usr/sbin/sysman [-accel] <accelerator> [arguments]
/usr/sbin/sysman [-menu] <name> [arguments]
/usr/sbin/sysman [-menu] -list
/usr/sbin/sysman [-menu] -help | -h
/usr/sbin/sysman -focus hostname
OPTIONS
Specifies the user interface to be invoked. The choices are: Specifies
command line interface. Specifies graphical user interface. Specifies
the display screen on where sysman_menu displays its window. If the
display option is not specified, sysman_menu uses the display screen
specified by your DISPLAY environment variable. The display option has
the format hostname:server.number. The default is :0.0. For more
information, see the X(1X) reference page. In a TruCluster environ‐
ment, some management tasks effect the cluster as a whole and some are
local to a specific cluster member. If a task requires focus, the
"Choose a host to manage" dialog box will be displayed. To launch the
task directly, bypassing this dialog box, you can specify the -focus
option. Directly invokes the task with that accelerator. Any arguments
are passed on to the task itself. Use sysman -list for a list of the
accelerators.
If the accelerator is for a branch of the menu and not an exe‐
cutable task, then the menu hierarchy is expanded to display the
contents of the specified branch. Same as -accel option but the
name of the task as displayed in the SysMan Menu is specified.
For example, sysman -menu "Manage local users". Any arguments
are passed on to the task itself.
The name is for a branch of the menu and not an executable task,
then the menu hierarchy is expanded to display the contents of
the specified branch. Specifies the name of the remote host
that will be connected.
This option implies that the intent to perform remote management
of a system through a Java client.
The hostname can be the same system that launched the SysMan
Menu. Displays a list of all the tasks that can be run from the
SysMan Menu and their accelerators. Displays help for the Sys‐
Man Menu.
DESCRIPTION
SysMan Menu is used by the system administrator to obtain system man‐
agement data and run selected system management tasks. SysMan Menu pro‐
vides a menu of system management tasks in a tree type display, with
branches of management categories and leaves of actual tasks. Selecting
a leaf or tasks invokes a task, which displays a dialog for performing
the task.
SysMan Menu and its associated tasks can be run on an X Windows dis‐
play, a terminal with curses capability, locally on a PC, or from a Web
browser. For detailed information in running SysMan Menu from a PC or a
Web browser, please use your Web browser and go to:

Online help is available for the SysMan Menu. To get help, select the
Help button.
RESTRICTIONS
You must have root privileges to perform most tasks with this applica‐
tion. You can grant root privileges for specific users or groups of
users using the Division of Privileges (DOP) application. See the
dop(8) reference page and the online help in the sysman dopconfig
application for additional information.
You must have the root privileges to execute some of the tasks on the
SysMan Menu.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows how to launch the Manage local users task
from the command line using an accelerator name: sysman -accel users
The following example shows how to invoke SysMan Menu in curses mode:
sysman -ui cui The following example shows how to get a listing of
tasks and their accelerators: sysman -list The following example dis‐
plays the status of the NFS related daemons on a remote cluster member:
sysman -focus nfs_config_status The following example launches the
SysMan Menu remotely on the host named system1: sysman -hostname sys‐
tem1 The following example launches the Manage local users task
remotely on the host named system1: sysman -hostname system1 -accel
users
