If we indent text here, the formatting codes are not interpreted, and the text is output "raw". So currently, we actually see "I<system_type>" in this section, which is a bit confusing. Saying the actual output with string substitutions and stuff here doesn't seem very helpful when the output doesn't have any constant text in it. Just describe what the output is instead; an example immediately follows if this is unclear.

livesys - Reports the configured CPU/operating system type
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
=for html
|
|
<div class="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<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, by itself, on a single
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
The following example shows the output produced on a Linux system with a
|
|
2.6 kernel:
|
|
|
|
% livesys
|
|
i386_linux26
