💖 adsysctl-update — like, the update page, bestie 💖

okay so real quick, this is a page from the ADSys manual, and the command it's about is adsysctl-update (you'll see it as adsysctl update in the wild). It's a baby of the adsysctl(1) family, so if you ever get lost, that's your home base. 🏠✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

adsysctl-update — Updates/Create a policy for current user or given user with its kerberos ticket

yes that's the whole vibe. it updates or creates a policy, either for the current user or for a user you name, and it does it with that user's kerberos ticket. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

adsysctl update [USER_NAME KERBEROS_TICKET_PATH] [flags]

so you got your USER_NAME and your KERBEROS_TICKET_PATH sitting there in brackets together, and then [flags] trailing along after them. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It's an alias of "policy update". That's it. That's the lore. If you were looking for a whole dramatic backstory — nope, it's literally just the nickname of policy update. Periodt. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -a, --all[=false] — all updates the policy of the computer AND all the logged in users. but heads up bestie, because -m or USER_NAME/TICKET cannot be used with this option. it's a no-mixing situation, fr fr. 🚫
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for update. your lil "wait what does this do again" button. 🫶
  • -m, --machine[=false] — machine updates the policy of the computer. just the machine, not the people. 🖥️

🔥 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🔥

these are the ones you got from the parent command (thanks adsysctl(1), you icon 👑):

  • -c, --config="" — use a specific configuration file. point it at the file you want. 📁
  • -s, --socket="/run/adsysd.sock" — socket path to use between daemon and client. Can be overridden by systemd socket activation, so if systemd is doing its little thing, that wins. 🧦
  • -t, --timeout=30 — time in seconds before cancelling the client request when the server gives no result. and 0 for no timeout — like, forever, apparently. 😭
  • -v, --verbose[=0] — issue INFO (-v), DEBUG (-vv) or DEBUG with caller (-vvv) output. three whole levels of yapping. 🗣️✨
