Congratulations on downloading syspert, this walkthrough is the first in many to help you use syspert for the novice and beginner.
First off, to launch syspert ether type "syspert" at the command line as root (if you run as a normal user you will be denied access and root will be informed) or type "/opt/syspert/bin/syspert" and you will be presented with the main screen, that basically displays the copyright notices and a warning that the program must be run in full screen, and an input request (press enter) (as shown in the screenshot labelled "Syspert start screen"
After you pass said "start screen" you will presented with syspert's main screen which displays the four menus: usrmgmt for user account management
diskmgmt for disk management
sysmgmt for system management
and softmgmt for software mangement

The user management section of syspert allows a system administrator to add, modify and delete a user on the system.
The many sub-menus available for use are:
addusr for adding a user to the system
chsh for changing a users system shell
chname for changing a users real name (not username)
chid for changing a users ID (UID)
lsgrp for listing the groups on the system
lsusrgrp for listing groups that the user is in
chgrp for changing a users group (supplementary groups)
rmgrp for removing a user from a group
passwd for changing a users password
chadm for changing a user to an administrator
delete for removing a user from the system
login for logging in as a user on the system (for task completion as a user or diagnostics)
find for finding a user and getting information on a user
users for listing the users logged on a system
disable for disabling a user on the system (change login shell to /sbin/nologin)
enable for enabling a user (allowing login)

The many sub-menus available for use are:
lsdisk for listing all disks on the system
diskinfo for getting information on a disk
fsys for getting information on a disks filesystem
mount for mounting a disk for system use
unmount for removing a disk for system use
rename for changing a disks name
mkfs-dos for creating a DOS filesystem
mkfs-ufs for creating a UFS filesystem
mkfs-ext4 for creating a ext4 filesystem
mkfs-ntfs for creating a ntfs filesystem
chdisk for checking a disk
format for erasing a disk

The system management section of syspert allows a system administrator to perform tasks such as accessing remote systems, viewing system processes, backup and encryption, IP configuration, firewall management, and performing network scans
The many sub-menus available for use are:
sysproc for viewing system processes (and killing them)
sysio for viewing system IO statistics
nmon for viewing advanced system statistics (uses nmon for Linux)
shell for accessing a root shell
ssh for connecting to a remote system over ssh
telnet for connecting to a remote system over telnet
sshcmd for sending a command to a remote system via ssh
backup for backup and recovery (uses dump and restore)
crypt for encrypting and decrypting data
ifconfig for IP management (goes into separate function)
firewall for firewall management (goes into separate function)
nmap for mapping a network
netmap for performing a ping sweep
