NETMAIN_CHKLOG(8) Domain/OS BSD NETMAIN_CHKLOG(8)
NAME
netmain_chklog - clean up bad log files
SYNOPSIS
/etc/netmain_chklog [options] pathname...
DESCRIPTION
When the netmain_srvr program halts catastrophically (for instance,
during a node reset), it can leave the log file it was writing in a
corrupt, unusable state. netmain_chklog determines whether the log is
corrupt and, optionally, deletes corrupt files.
If the pathname you specify points to some kind of file other than a
netmain log file, that file is almost always ignored; it is almost never
deleted as a corrupt log. On very rare occasions, another kind of file
may look so much like a corrupt log that it might be deleted accidentally
if you use both -d and the standard command option -nq (no query). Thus
you should use -d -nq with extreme care.
pathname (required)
Specify the files to be checked. Multiple names and
wildcarding are permitted; separate names with blanks.
OPTIONS
-d Delete corrupt log files.
-nd (default) Do not delete anything.
-l (default) Describe every file analyzed.
-nl Describe only corrupt log files.
EXAMPLES
$ /etc/netmain_chklog `node_data/net_log/*
