Maintenance Commands                                   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 con-
     verted 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) or 2 (A_SHUTDOWN), to
     pass a single string of boot arguments to the uadmin  system
     call. 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").
