[ ! .I site ! ] ! [ ! .B \-f ! .I problem-report ! ] ! [ ! .B \-t ! .I mail-address ! ] ! .br ! .in +0.8i ! [ ! .B \-P ! ] ! [ ! .B \-L ! ] ! [ ! .B \-s ! .I severity ! ] ! .br ! [ ! .B \-\-request-id ! ] ! [ ! .B \-V ! ] .SH DESCRIPTION ! .B send-pr ! is a tool used to submit ! .I problem reports ! .\" SITE ADMINISTRATORS - change this if you use a local default ! (PRs) to a central support site. In most cases the correct ! .I site ! will be the default. This argument indicates the support site which ! is responsible for the category of problem involved. Some sites may ! use a local address as a default. ! .I site ! values are defined by using the ! .BR aliases (5). ! .LP ! .B send-pr ! invokes an editor on a problem report template (after trying to fill ! in some fields with reasonable default values). When you exit the ! editor, ! .B send-pr ! sends the completed form to the ! .I Problem Report Management System ! (\fBGNATS\fR) at a central support site. At the support site, the PR ! is assigned a unique number and is stored in the \fBGNATS\fR database ! according to its category and submitter-id. \fBGNATS\fR automatically replies with an acknowledgement, citing the category and the PR number. .LP To ensure that a PR is handled promptly, it should contain your (unique) \fIsubmitter-id\fR and one of the available \fIcategories\fR to identify the ! problem area. (Use ! .B `send-pr -L' ! to see a list of categories.) ! .LP ! The ! .B send-pr ! template at your site should already be customized with your ! submitter-id (running `\|\fBinstall-sid\fP \fIsubmitter-id\fP\|' to ! accomplish this is part of the installation procedures for ! .BR send-pr ). ! If this hasn't been done, see your system administrator for your ! submitter-id, or request one from your support site by invoking ! .B `send-pr \-\-request\-id'. ! If your site does not distinguish between different user sites, or if ! you are not affiliated with the support site, use ! .B `net' ! for this field. .LP The more precise your problem description and the more complete your information, the faster your support team can solve your problems. .SH OPTIONS .TP ! .BI \-f " problem-report" ! specify a file (\fIproblem-report\fR) which already contains a ! complete problem report. ! .B send-pr ! sends the contents of the file without invoking the editor. If ! the value for ! .I problem-report ! is ! .BR `\|\-\|' , ! then ! .B send-pr ! reads from standard input. .TP ! .BI \-s " severity" ! Give the problem report the severity ! .IR severity . ! .TP ! .BI \-t " mail-address" ! Change mail address at the support site for problem reports. The ! default ! .I mail-address ! is the address used for the default ! .IR site . ! Use the ! .I site ! argument rather than this option in nearly all cases. ! .TP ! .B \-P ! print the form specified by the environment variable ! .B PR_FORM ! on standard output. If ! .B PR_FORM ! is not set, print the standard blank PR template. No mail is sent. ! .TP ! .B -L ! print the list of available categories. No mail is sent. ! .TP ! .B \-\-request\-id ! sends mail to the default support site, or ! .I site ! if specified, with a request for your ! .IR submitter-id . ! If you are ! not affiliated with ! .IR site , ! use a ! .I submitter-id ! of ! .BR net \|'. .TP ! .B \-V ! Display the ! .B send-pr ! version number. ! .LP ! Note: use ! .B send-pr ! to submit problem reports rather than mailing them directly. Using ! both the template and ! .B send-pr ! itself will help ensure all necessary information will reach the ! support site. .SH ENVIRONMENT The environment variable .B EDITOR --- 22,108 ---- .\" .\" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- .nh ! .TH SEND-PR 1 xVERSIONx "November 2002" .SH NAME ! send-pr \- submit a GNATS Problem Report (PR) to a support site .SH SYNOPSIS .B send-pr ! .RS !

When ! you exit the editor, \fBsend-pr\fR submits the completed form to the ! GNATS system at a central support site, either directly over the ! network to the GNATS server or by e-mail. At the support site, the PR ! is assigned a unique number and is stored in the GNATS database ! according to its category and submitter-id. GNATS automatically replies with an acknowledgement, citing the category and the PR number. .LP To ensure that a PR is handled promptly, it should contain your (unique) \fIsubmitter-id\fR and one of the available \fIcategories\fR to identify the ! problem area. .LP The more precise your problem description and the more complete your information, the faster your support team can solve your problems. + .LP + Note: use \fBsend-pr\fR to submit problem reports rather than mailing + them directly. Using both the template and \fBsend-pr\fR itself will + help ensure that all necessary information will reach the support site. .SH OPTIONS .TP ! \fB\-b\fR,\ \fB\-\-batch ! Suppresses printing of most of the messages that \fBsend-pr\fR usually ! prints while running. ! .TP ! \fB\-d \fIdatabase\fR,\ \fB\-\-database=\fIdatabase\fR ! Specifies the database to which the PR is to be submitted; if no ! database is specified, the local database named \fBdefault\fR is ! assumed. This option overrides the database specified in the ! \fBGNATSDB\fR environment variable. ! .TP ! \fB\-f\ \fIfile\fR,\ \fB\-\-file=\fIfile\fR ! Specifies a file where a completed Problem Report or a PR template ! exists. \fBsend-pr\fR verifies that the contents of the file ! constitute a valid PR and asks the user whether the PR should be ! submitted directly or edited first. If the PR text is invalid, the ! user will be notified and given the option to edit it. If \fIfile\fR ! is set to `-', \fBsend-pr\fR reads from standard input. ! .TP ! \fB\-p\fR,\ \fB\-\-print ! Displays the PR template for the specified \fBdatabase\fR, or if the ! \fB-d\fR or \fB--database\fR options are not specified, print the ! template for the local database \fBdefault\fR. No PR is submitted ! when this option is used. ! .TP ! \fB\-\-request-id\fR ! Sends a request for a Submitter Id to the support site. .TP ! \fB\-s\ \fIseverity\fR,\ \fB\-\-severity=\fIseverity\fR ! Sets the initial value of the \fBSeverity\fR field to \fIseverity\fR. .TP ! \fB\-\-version\fR,\ \fB\-V\fR ! Displays the version number of the program. ! .TP ! \fB\-\-help\fR,\ \fB\-h\fR ! Prints a brief usage message. .SH ENVIRONMENT The environment variable .B EDITOR *************** *** 177,189 **** .br default: .B vi - .sp - If the environment variable - .B PR_FORM - is set, then its value is used as the file name of the template for - your problem-report editing session.
