Any admintool in shell mode

[rsvk]

Hi,
I'd like to know that is there any admintool in solaris command mode (like scoadmin in sco openserver.)pls help...

If you mean a text-based tool, not that I'm aware of. However, there is a graphical tool called admintool which allows some limited procedures to be carried out.

I want the text based utility

As I say, I'm not aware of one, but that doesn't mean to say that someone hasn't written one for their own use - something like sysadmin/sysadm on other systems perhaps. Have you done a Google search? Alternatively, try posting the question in the Unix scripting forum of this site. I'll get back to you if I find anything.

useradd, groupadd, passwd, lpadmin (or lpset), vi

serial port configuration is harder.
pmadm, sacadm, and syncinit appear to perform the job, but i have to say that i've only ever configured serial ports with admintool ... it takes a lot less time, and i only need to do it once on specific machines

btw 'vi' _is_ sensible, if you know the format
vi /etc/hosts
vi /etc/group 'GA<return><groupname>::<gid>:<esc>:wq<ret>'
vi /etc/passwd 'GA<return><username>:x:<uid>:<gid>:<comment>:/home/<username>:/bin/csh<esc>:wq<ret>'
vi /etc/shadow 'GA<return><username><esc>8A:<esc>:w!<ret>:q<ret>' then 'passwd <username>' ...
vi /etc/auto_home (which by the way admintool doesn't seem to do) 'GA<username> <server-of-home-dir>:/<path-to-home-dir><esc>:wq<ret>'
