built-in functions. This allows users to change F1 to say, ^X, in the case where a function key might not be available, or perhaps is bound to a window manager. problem noted by Nathan Williams

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm sushi
|
|
.Nd a menu based system administration tool
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Ar quickname
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
tool gives the user a menu of various system administration tasks that
|
|
may be performed on the system. It is designed to be simple enough for a
|
|
novice to use, and quick enough to help seasoned users perform more
|
|
complex tasks with ease.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is also designed to be easily extended and customizable by the user or
|
|
administrator. The menus themselves consist of a number of flat ascii
|
|
files which are parsed by the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
engine when run. Commands are actually scripts written by the
|
|
administrator, and executed from the menu heirarchy. It is possible to
|
|
have multiple heirarchies, and even ones private to a particular user on
|
|
the machine. These hierarchies are all merged for the user at run-time
|
|
into a single menu system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following option is available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "quickname"
|
|
.It Ar quickname
|
|
This option allows the user to jump directly to a known submenu or function
|
|
within
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
It can be used to avoid the need to navigate deeply nested menus, when the
|
|
end destination is known.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The following environment variables are utilized by
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "PKG_PATH"
|
|
.It Ev LANG
|
|
Determines the user's current language setting.
|
|
.It Ev PKG_PATH
|
|
This is the default URL for binary packages used when fetching lists
|
|
of packages available to download. It is also used when actually
|
|
downloading those packages. It defaults to:
|
|
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There may be other environment variables utilized by various scripts in the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
menu hierarchy. This manual page cannot account for those environment
|
|
variables, however they should be detailed in the help files for each menu.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "sushi"
|
|
.It Pa /etc/sushi.conf
|
|
This file is used by sushi to override the default locations searched for
|
|
menu hierarchies. It consists of a keyword, followed by instructions.
|
|
To override the default searchpaths in
|
|
.Nm
|
|
you would issue the keyword
|
|
.Sq searchpath
|
|
followed by a directory name, one per line, that will be searched, in order,
|
|
for menu hierarchies. Each directory name must be preceeded by the
|
|
.Sq searchpath
|
|
keyword. It is not an error to have a non-existant directory listed in
|
|
this file, as they will simply be skipped over. The default list of
|
|
directories searched is printed below, in order:
|
|
.It Pa /usr/share/sushi
|
|
.It Pa /usr/pkg/share/sushi
|
|
.It Pa /usr/X11R6/share/sushi
|
|
.It Pa /etc/sushi
|
|
.It Pa $HOME/sushi
|
|
The $HOME/sushi path, is allways searched, and does not need to appear in
|
|
the
|
|
.Pa /etc/sushi.conf
|
|
file. The
|
|
.Pa /etc/sushi.conf
|
|
file will not be parsed for environment variables such as $HOME, so it
|
|
would likely be an error to include it there.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa /etc/sushi.conf
|
|
file may also include key bindings, which will override the default use
|
|
of function keys in
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
These may be desired in situations where function keys are not available, or
|
|
are not desirable because of a window-manager binding. The format for
|
|
binding a key is:
|
|
.It bind F1 ^T ^T=Help
|
|
In the above example, we have rebound the
|
|
.Sq F1
|
|
key to Control-T. The final keyword is the message that will appear at the
|
|
bottom of your screen, to remind you which keys are bound to which
|
|
functions. There can be no whitespace in the key description.
|
|
The syntax of the new key binding must either be an ascii character
|
|
preceeded by a caret
|
|
.Dq ^
|
|
to signify a control modifier, a function key, such as
|
|
.Sq F9
|
|
or a single ascii character. It is not possible to bind Alt or Meta keys,
|
|
nor is it possible to bind a modified function key, such as control-F1.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Most of the actual usage of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is documented in the internal help files, such as commands, and keystrokes
|
|
that are used to navigate the menus. There is also full documentation in
|
|
the help pages on writing your own menus. In order to access help, you
|
|
may hit the F1 key at any time, and if help is available for the current
|
|
menu, it will be displayed. It is advised that the user read the help
|
|
file from the main menu, as it contains most of the navigation, and basic
|
|
concepts of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
engine.

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
At the time of this writing, there are a number of display glitches
|
|
which are currently being worked on. In addition there are some failure
|
|
modes that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not handle well, such as not recieving output from an escript field.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At the time of this writing, the F6 option, to display the current command
|
|
before running it, does not work.
