 Name

    undocumented - programs not documented elsewhere in these manuals

 Description

    Several programs distributed with SCO UNIX System V are not fully docu-
    mented.  In general, these programs fall into two categories:  programs
    retained to provide compatability with earlier versions of SCO UNIX Sys-
    tem V, and programs intended for execution by other programs, which are
    rarely of interest to the end user.

    This page lists undocumented programs, together with brief notes on their
    functionality and relevance.  Note that this list is likely to change
    with future releases of SCO UNIX System V. We strongly recommend that you
    make no attempt to use or remove programs on this list; doing so may
    interfere with the functionality of other programs.

    Undocumented but useful programs are as follows:

    /etc/cleanup        Shell script occasionally run by the root crontab
                        file to clean up log files.

    /etc/memsize        Called directly by crash(ADM).

    /etc/utmpgetty     Provided for mscreen(M) support.

    /usr/bin/menuadd   Link to /bin/true.

    /usr/bin/menudel   Link to /bin/true.

    /usr/bin/message    Used by installpkg(ADM), displaypkg(ADM), and
                        removepkg(ADM).

    /usr/bin/pwdmenu    Used by backup(ADM).

    /bin/idas           Program used by Link Kit during Kernel builds.

    /bin/mt             Lists the drive model number. Specific to (obsolete)
                        Intel tape drive.

    /etc/brand          Used by installation scripts; documented in Product
                        Engineering Toolkit.

    /etc/debrand        Used by installation scripts; documented in Product
                        Engineering Toolkit.

    /usr/bin/checkeq    eqn(CT) macro checker.

    /usr/bin/ibmlpopt   Used by the print service; displays lp options spe-
                        cific to the IBM ProPrinter.
