NAME

recoversl − check and recover damaged or missing shared libraries

SYNOPSIS

/etc/recoversl [−f]

DESCRIPTION

recoversl is a command run by init(1M) at boot time to check for the existence of shared libraries that are critical to the system. recoversl checks for, and corrects if necessary, the owner, group and permissions of these shared libraries. 

Critical shared libraries include: dld.sl (the dynamic loader), libc.sl, libcurses.sl, and libm.sl.  If any of these libraries are missing or damaged, recoversl guides the system administrator through a set of procedures that are designed to recover the shared libraries from update media. 

recoversl is designed to be run at boot time, but can be run by a user with appropriate privileges at any time when critical shared library problems are suspected. 

Options

−f Force recovery of critical shared libraries, regardless of status of sanity checks.
