NAME
sam - system administration manager
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/sam [-display display] [-f login] [-r]
DESCRIPTION
The sam command starts a menu-driven program that makes it easy to
perform system administration tasks with only limited, specialized
knowledge of the HP-UX operating system. SAM discovers most aspects
of a system's configuration through automated inquiries and tests.
Help menus describe how to use SAM and perform the various management
tasks. Context-sensitive help on the currently highlighted field is
always available by pressing the f1 function key. Status messages and
a log file monitor keep the user informed of what SAM is doing.
