NAME

rsstatus − report the status of posted restore requests

SYNOPSIS

rsstatus [−h] [−d ddev] [−f field_separator] [−j jobids] [−u users]

DESCRIPTION

With no options, rsstatus reports the status of all pending restore requests that are posted in the restore status table. 

rsstatus may be executed only by a user with superuser privileges. 

Volume labels marked with an asterisk in the output of this command are table of contents volumes. 

Options

−d ddev Restricts the report to pending restore jobs that could be satisfied by the specified device type or volumes.  ddev describes the device or volumes used to select requests to be restored.  ddev is of the form:

[dtype][:dlabels]

dtype is a device type (such as cartridge tape).  If specified, restrict the report to posted requests that could be satisfied by volumes of the type specified. 

dlabels is a list of volume names corresponding to the volumename displayed by the labelit command.  dlabels may be either comma-separated or blank-separated and surrounded by quotes.  If specified, restrict the report to posted requests that could be satisfied by an archive residing on the specified volumes. 

−f field_separator
Suppresses field wrap and specifies an output field separator to be used. field_separator is the character that will appear as the field separator in the output displayed.  To make sure the output is clear, avoid using a character (for a separator) that is likely to appear in a field.  For example, do not use a colon as a field separator if the display will contain dates in which a colon is used to separate hours from minutes. 

−h Suppresses the header for the report. 

−j jobids Restricts the report to the jobs specified.  jobids is a list of restore job IDs (either comma-separated or blank-separated and surrounded by quotes). 

−u users Restricts the report to requests submitted by the specified users (either comma-separated or blank-separated and surrounded by quotes).  users must be listed in the passwd file. 

DIAGNOSTICS

The exit codes for rsstatus are the following:

0 = successful completion of the task
1 = one or more parameters to rsstatus are invalid. 
2 = an error has occurred which caused rsstatus to fail to
      complete all portions of its task.
