Change references to the documentation sets that we still ship to reference the OpenAFS manuals instead of the IBM AFS manuals. Remove references to the IBM AFS/DFS Migration documentation, since that doesn't appear to be available anywhere any more, replacing them where relevant to more generic references to the DFS documentation. Add links to docs.openafs.org for mentions of the manuals in SEE ALSO, and standardize on one link format. Replace a few references to the IBM AFS Release Notes with the actual information in those notes, or drop the reference if it doesn't seem particularly useful.

|
livesys - Reports the configured CPU/operating system type
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
=for html
|
|
<div class="synopsis">
|
|
|
|
B<livesys>
|
|
|
|

</div>
|
|
|
|
=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<OpenAFS Quick Start Guides> and I<OpenAFS 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
