In some examples, the notation node# indicates a root prompt on the specified node. For example, a command preceded by fuji2# would mean that the command was run as user root on the node named fuji2.
References to the Linux(R) operating system commands are followed by their manual page section numbers in parentheses - for example, cp(1).
Keystrokes that represent nonprintable characters are displayed as key icons such as [Enter] or [F1]. For example, [Enter] means press the key labeled Enter; [Ctrl-b] means hold down the key labeled Ctrl or Control and then press the [B] key.
