 [SYSINFO(1)](../1/SYSINFO)                                             [SYSINFO(1)](../1/SYSINFO)

 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 informa-
      tion about the hardware and software configuration of the
      running system, concatenating 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 address to be included in the
      message (the e-mail address is not divulged to the mailing
      list).  These flags are useful for reporting new installs to
      the development team.

      Sysupdate updates the local mercurial repository by execut-
      ing the following commands:

           bind -ac /dist/plan9front /
           hg -v pull -u

      If the -i flag is included, the command hg incoming is
      prepended.
