2 | \" RCSID: $Header$ | |
3 | .SH NAME | |
4 | sms, listmaint, usermaint, dcmmaint \- maintain information stored in SMS | |
5 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
6 | .B sms | |
7 | [ | |
8 | .BI \-nomenu | |
9 | ] | |
10 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
11 | .I sms | |
12 | administers all of the information stored in the SMS database. When | |
13 | invoked by the name | |
14 | .B listmaint, usermaint, | |
15 | or | |
16 | .B dcmmaint, | |
17 | .I sms | |
18 | will immediately drop into the appropriate sub-menu. | |
19 | There is only one option: | |
20 | .TP | |
21 | .BI \-nomenu | |
22 | Do not take over the screen. With this option specified, the screen | |
23 | will be handled like a printing terminal. Each menu will be displayed | |
24 | only once. Typing '?' will cause a menu to be redisplayed. | |
25 | .PP | |
26 | When called without options, | |
27 | .I sms | |
28 | displays a menu in the top half of the screen listing other menus; | |
29 | retrievals, appends, updates, or | |
30 | deletes to the database; or control actions within the program. | |
31 | Each menu consists of several lines containing a single character | |
32 | (usually a numeral), a keyword, and a short description. Menu items | |
33 | may be selected by either the single character or the keyword. Needed | |
34 | arguments may be put on the same line -- otherwise, they will be | |
35 | prompted for. It is possible to invoke an option from a sub-menu by | |
36 | name while at a higher menu. The lower half of the screen is a | |
37 | dialogue area used to prompt the user and display retrieved information. | |
38 | .PP | |
39 | The top level menu just lists other menus for each of the types of | |
40 | objects stored in the database. Most menus also list the following | |
41 | control options: | |
42 | .TP | |
43 | .B verbose | |
44 | Toggle the verbosity of delete. This controls whether or not an extra | |
45 | confirmation will be required before deleting data from the database. | |
46 | .TP | |
47 | .B return | |
48 | Return to the menu above this one in the menu tree. | |
49 | .TP | |
50 | .B toggle | |
51 | Toggle logging on and off. When logging is turned on, all output in | |
52 | the lower half of the screen will also be written to | |
53 | .I /usr/tmp/sms-log.XXXX, | |
54 | where XXXX is the process-ID of the sms client. | |
55 | .TP | |
56 | .B quit | |
57 | Exits the sms client immediately. The connection to the SMS server | |
58 | will be closed. | |
59 | .SH DIAGNOSTICS | |
60 | Pay attention to Kerberos diagnostics, as one must be authenticated to | |
61 | do most SMS database work. | |
62 | .PP | |
63 | As this is a database manipulation application, diagnostics indicate an | |
64 | incomplete argument list, an attempt to modify/delete an ambiguous | |
65 | entry, or an invalid menu choice. | |
66 | .SH ENVIRONMENT | |
67 | .TP | |
68 | KRBTKFILE | |
69 | path name of your Kerberos ticket. SMS decides who you are and what you | |
70 | can do based on your Kerberos tickets, and nothing else. | |
71 | .TP | |
72 | TERMCAP | |
73 | used by curses to control of scrolling and menu display. | |
