NAME
sysinfo, sysupdate - report information about, update the system
SYNOPSIS
sysinfo [ -e e-mail ] [ -p ]
sysupdate [ -i ]
DESCRIPTION
Sysinfo executes a number of commands that report information about the
hardware and software configuration of the running system, concatenat‐
ing the output to stdout.
The -p flag causes the output to be posted at a website archive,
http://sysinfo.9front.org, which in turn forwards the message to a
mailing list, 9front-sysinfo@9front.org. A URL pointing to the
archived output is returned. The -e flag causes a reply-to e-mail ad‐
dress to be included in the message (the e-mail address is not divulged
to the mailing list). These flags are useful for reporting new in‐
stalls to the development team.
Sysupdate updates the local mercurial repository by executing the fol‐
lowing commands:
bind -ac /dist/plan9front /
hg -v pull -u
If the -i flag is included, the command hg incoming is prepended.
