groupadd(1M), groupdel(1M), groupmod(1M)

These commands manage groups:

groupadd: Adds a group to the system.
groupdel: Deletes a group from the system.
groupmod: Modifies an existing group.

You can also perform these functions via SAM.

listusers(1)

Displays information about user logins.

logins(1M)

Displays information about user logins.

mk_kernel(1M)

Builds a bootable HP-UX kernel, usually /stand/build/vmunix_test, and optionally moves it to /stand/vmunix. HP recommends you use mk_kernel or SAM (the System Administration Manager) to rebuild the kernel on all 10.x systems.

For more information, see the manpage, “Kernel Convergence” of this document, and the Configuring HP-UX for Peripherals and HP-UX System Administration Tasks manual.

model(1)

This command, which was formerly available on the Series 700, is also available on the Series 800.

mountall(1M), umountall(1M)

mountall: Mounts all removable file systems listed in the file system table, normally /etc/fstab.
umountall: Unmounts all removable file systems listed in the file system table.

Both commands comply with SVR4 and support multiple file systems.

pwconv(1M)

Creates or updates the commercial security database from /etc/passwd.

If commercial security is installed, pwconv updates the database.
If commercial security is not installed, pwconv removes passwords from /etc/passwd and creates the database.

setuname(1M)

Changes system name, node name, or both, either temporarily or permanently (surviving reboot).

setup(1M)

Performs system setup tasks. User interface similar to SAM. Performs these tasks:

Sets the date and time.
Sets the timezone.

Assigns passwords.
Adds new users.

useradd(1M), userdel(1M), usermod(1M)

These commands provide a command-line method for adding and deleting users and modifying their accounts.

useradd: Adds new users or set defaults for them.
userdel: Deletes users, and optionally their home directories.
usermod: Modifies the characteristics of an existing user.

vxdump(1M)

Copies to magnetic tape all files in the VxFS file system that have been changed after a certain date. This information is derived from the /var/adm/dumpdates and /etc/fstab files.

vxrestore(1M)

Reads tapes previously dumped by the vxdump(1M) command.

whois(1)

whois is similar to a telephone book lookup utility. See "whois" in Chapter 5 for more information.
