       -m address    # email output to address
       -n	     # non-interactive mode
       -o file	     # write output to file
       -p	     # gather printing info

DESCRIPTION
     netgather is a shell script that collects various information from your
     system. It runs several commands like 'hinv' , 'uname -aR', etc ... When
     started you are given the option to e-mail the output to a recipient.
     This command has been implemented for customers to send information to
     SGI Customer Call Center Support Personnel.  Prompt mode is turned off
     when using -n flag. The default output is standard output unless -o flag
     is used. There are no default Email ( unless -A flag is used with -m ) .
     The -m is independent of -f3-o. That is, if you don't want output going
     to standard output while sending an Email output, redirect to /dev/null
     or use "-o /dev/null".

EXAMPLES
	  # netgather -n -o out -m someone

	    This turns off prompt mode and save the output in file out in the current
	    directory and also send the output via Email to someone.

	  # netgather -m someone

	    The output goes to the screen and is also mailed to someone.

	  # netgather -o /dev/null -m someone1,someone2

	    The output goes nowhere but the output is sent via Email to recipients

	    someone1 and someone2

	  # netgather -C

	    You are prompted to enter a key (see crypt(1) ). The output is then uuencoded so it is
	    sendable via Email in ASCII format. This is normally used with one or both flag -o or
	    -m flag.

	  # netgather -D <netgather_encrypted_file

	    Use -D to decrypt a uuencoded-crypted from a previous netgather -f3-C run.

     espreport(1), crypt(1)

NOTES
     This is intended to help customers providing SGI Call Center Support
     Personnel with consistent data without typing any complicated commands.

     In future release, the script may collect specific information about
     specific interface like hip or eg or tg interfaces.

     This script was introduced in IRIX 6.5.19.
