uadmin(1M) System Administration Commands uadmin(1M)NAMEuadmin - 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"
