=head1 NAME
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
livesys - Reports the configured CPU/operating system type
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
B<livesys>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The B<livesys> command displays the string stored in kernel memory that
|
||
|
|
indicates the local machine's CPU/operating system (OS) type,
|
||
|
|
conventionally called the I<sysname>. The Cache Manager substitutes this
|
||
|
|
string for the I<@sys> variable which can occur in AFS pathnames; the
|
||
|
|
I<IBM AFS Quick Beginnings> and I<IBM AFS Administration Guide> explain
|
||
|
|
how using I<@sys> can simplify cell configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To set a new value in kernel memory, use the B<fs sysname> command, which
|
||
|
|
can also be used to view the current value. If a sysname list was set
|
||
|
|
using B<fs sysname>, only the first value in the list will be reported by
|
||
|
|
B<livesys>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 CAUTIONS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To see the full sysname list, use B<fs sysname> rather than this command.
|
||
|
|
B<livesys> is mostly useful for scripts that need to know the primary
|
||
|
|
sysname for the local system (to create directories that will later be
|
||
|
|
addressed using I<@sys>, for example).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
B<livesys> first appeared in OpenAFS 1.2.2. Scripts that need to support
|
||
|
|
older versions of AFS should parse the output of B<fs sysname> or use
|
||
|
|
B<sys>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 OUTPUT
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The machine's system type appears as a text string:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I<system_type>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following example shows the output produced on a Linux system with a
|
||
|
|
2.6 kernel:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
% livesys
|
||
|
|
i386_linux26
