15 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
---|
16 | .I Moira |
---|
17 | administers all of the information stored in Moira, the Athena Service |
---|
18 | Management System database. When invoked by the name |
---|
19 | .B listmaint, usermaint, |
---|
20 | or |
---|
21 | .B dcmmaint, |
---|
22 | .I moira |
---|
23 | will immediately drop into the appropriate sub-menu. |
---|
24 | |
---|
25 | It a database is specified on the command line, that server will be |
---|
26 | contacted rather than the compiled-in default. The host and port may |
---|
27 | both be symbolic names or numbers. If the port is not specified, the |
---|
28 | default Moira server port will be used. The server chosen will be the |
---|
29 | one specified on the command line, from the environment variable |
---|
30 | MOIRASERVER, from the "moira" sloc entry in hesiod, or the compiled in |
---|
31 | default, in that order of preference. |
---|
32 | |
---|
33 | The option: |
---|
34 | .TP |
---|
35 | .BI \-nomenu |
---|
36 | will cause moira to not take over the screen. With this option |
---|
37 | specified, the screen |
---|
38 | will be handled like a printing terminal. Each menu will be displayed |
---|
39 | only once. Typing '?' will cause a menu to be redisplayed. |
---|
40 | .PP |
---|
41 | When called without options, |
---|
42 | .I moira |
---|
43 | displays a menu in the top half of the screen listing other menus; |
---|
44 | retrievals, appends, updates, or |
---|
45 | deletes to the database; or control actions within the program. |
---|
46 | Each menu consists of several lines containing a single character |
---|
47 | (usually a numeral), a keyword, and a short description. Menu items |
---|
48 | may be selected by either the single character or the keyword. Needed |
---|
49 | arguments may be put on the same line -- otherwise, they will be |
---|
50 | prompted for. It is possible to invoke an option from a sub-menu by |
---|
51 | name while at a higher menu. The lower half of the screen is a |
---|
52 | dialogue area used to prompt the user and display retrieved information. |
---|
53 | .PP |
---|
54 | The top level menu just lists other menus for each of the types of |
---|
55 | objects stored in the database. Most menus also list the following |
---|
56 | control options: |
---|
57 | .TP |
---|
58 | .B verbose |
---|
59 | Toggle the verbosity of delete. This controls whether or not an extra |
---|
60 | confirmation will be required before deleting data from the database. |
---|
61 | .TP |
---|
62 | .B return |
---|
63 | Return to the menu above this one in the menu tree. |
---|
64 | .TP |
---|
65 | .B toggle |
---|
66 | Toggle logging on and off. When logging is turned on, all output in |
---|
67 | the lower half of the screen will also be written to |
---|
68 | .I /var/tmp/moira-log.XXXX, |
---|
69 | where XXXX is the process-ID of the moira client. |
---|
70 | .TP |
---|
71 | .B quit |
---|
72 | Exits the moira client immediately. The connection to the Moira server |
---|
73 | will be closed. |
---|
74 | .SH DIAGNOSTICS |
---|
75 | Pay attention to Kerberos diagnostics, as one must be authenticated to |
---|
76 | do most Moira database work. |
---|
77 | .PP |
---|
78 | As this is a database manipulation application, diagnostics indicate an |
---|
79 | incomplete argument list, an attempt to modify/delete an ambiguous |
---|
80 | entry, or an invalid menu choice. |
---|
81 | .SH ENVIRONMENT |
---|
82 | .TP |
---|
83 | KRBTKFILE |
---|
84 | path name of your Kerberos ticket. Moira decides who you are and what you |
---|
85 | can do based on your Kerberos tickets, and nothing else. |
---|
86 | .TP |
---|
87 | TERMCAP |
---|
88 | used by curses to control of scrolling and menu display. |
