UADMIN(1M)							    UADMIN(1M)

NAME
       uadmin - administrative control

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/uadmin cmd fcn [mdep]

       /sbin/uadmin cmd fcn [mdep]

DESCRIPTION
       The uadmin command provides control for basic administrative functions.
       This command is tightly coupled to the system administration procedures
       and  is	not  intended  for  general use. It may be invoked only by the
       super-user.

       Both the cmd (command) and fcn (function) arguments  are	 converted  to
       integers	 and  passed  to  the  uadmin  system  call. The optional mdep
       (machine dependent) argument is only available for the cmd values of  1
       (A_REBOOT),  2 (A_SHUTDOWN), or 5 (A_DUMP). For any other cmd value, no
       mdep command-line argument is allowed.

       When passing an mdep value that contains whitespaces, the  string  must
       be  grouped  together  as a single argument enclosed within quotes, for
       example:

	 uadmin 1 1 "-s kernel/unix"

SEE ALSO
       halt(1M), reboot(1M), uadmin(2), attributes(5)

WARNINGS
       Shutting down or halting the system by means of uadmin does not	update
       the  boot  archive.  Avoid  using  this command after

	   o	  editing of files such as /etc/system

	   o	  installing new driver binaries or kernel binaries

	   o	  updating existing driver binaries or kernel binaries.

       Use reboot(1M) or halt(1M) instead.
