6cb64403 | 4 | moira, listmaint, usermaint, dcmmaint \- maintain information stored in moira |
9d6ddf4b | 5 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
6cb64403 | 6 | .B moira |
9d6ddf4b | 7 | [ |
8 | .BI \-nomenu | |
00df39ed | 9 | ] [ |

9d6ddf4b | 12 | ] |
13 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
6cb64403 | 14 | .I Moira |
15 | administers all of the information stored in Moira, the Athena Service | |
16 | Management System database. When invoked by the name | |
9d6ddf4b | 17 | .B listmaint, usermaint, |
18 | or | |
19 | .B dcmmaint, | |
6cb64403 | 20 | .I moira |
9d6ddf4b | 21 | will immediately drop into the appropriate sub-menu. |
00df39ed | 22 | It a database is specified on the command line, that server will be |
23 | contacted rather than the compiled-in default. The host and port may | |
24 | both be symbolic names or numbers. | |
25 | The option: | |
9d6ddf4b | 26 | .TP |
27 | .BI \-nomenu | |
00df39ed | 28 | will cause moira to not take over the screen. With this option |
29 | specified, the screen | |
9d6ddf4b | 30 | will be handled like a printing terminal. Each menu will be displayed |
31 | only once. Typing '?' will cause a menu to be redisplayed. | |
32 | .PP | |
33 | When called without options, | |
6cb64403 | 34 | .I moira |
9d6ddf4b | 35 | displays a menu in the top half of the screen listing other menus; |
36 | retrievals, appends, updates, or | |
37 | deletes to the database; or control actions within the program. | |
38 | Each menu consists of several lines containing a single character | |
39 | (usually a numeral), a keyword, and a short description. Menu items | |
40 | may be selected by either the single character or the keyword. Needed | |
41 | arguments may be put on the same line -- otherwise, they will be | |
42 | prompted for. It is possible to invoke an option from a sub-menu by | |
43 | name while at a higher menu. The lower half of the screen is a | |
a4a12338 | 44 | dialogue area used to prompt the user and display retrieved information. |
9d6ddf4b | 45 | .PP |
46 | The top level menu just lists other menus for each of the types of | |
47 | objects stored in the database. Most menus also list the following | |
48 | control options: | |
49 | .TP | |
50 | .B verbose | |
a4a12338 | 51 | Toggle the verbosity of delete. This controls whether or not an extra |
9d6ddf4b | 52 | confirmation will be required before deleting data from the database. |
53 | .TP | |
54 | .B return | |
55 | Return to the menu above this one in the menu tree. | |
56 | .TP | |
57 | .B toggle | |
58 | Toggle logging on and off. When logging is turned on, all output in | |
59 | the lower half of the screen will also be written to | |
60 | .I /usr/tmp/sms-log.XXXX, | |
6cb64403 | 61 | where XXXX is the process-ID of the moira client. |
9d6ddf4b | 62 | .TP |
63 | .B quit | |
6cb64403 | 64 | Exits the moira client immediately. The connection to the Moira server |
9d6ddf4b | 65 | will be closed. |
66 | .SH DIAGNOSTICS | |
67 | Pay attention to Kerberos diagnostics, as one must be authenticated to | |
6cb64403 | 68 | do most Moira database work. |
9d6ddf4b | 69 | .PP |
70 | As this is a database manipulation application, diagnostics indicate an | |
71 | incomplete argument list, an attempt to modify/delete an ambiguous | |
72 | entry, or an invalid menu choice. | |
73 | .SH ENVIRONMENT | |
74 | .TP | |
75 | KRBTKFILE | |

9d6ddf4b | 77 | can do based on your Kerberos tickets, and nothing else. |
