     NAME
          ckbupscd - check file system backup schedule

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/ckbupscd [ -m ]

     DESCRIPTION
          ckbupscd consults the file /etc/bupsched and prints the file
          system lists from lines with date and time specifications
          matching the current time.  If the -m flag is present an
          introductory message in the output is suppressed so that
          only the file system lists are printed. Entries in the
          /etc/bupsched file are printed under the control of cron.

          The System Administration commands bupsched/schedcheck are
          provided to review and edit the /etc/bupsched file.

          The file /etc/bupsched should contain lines of 4 or more
          fields, separated by spaces or tabs.  The first 3 fields
          (the schedule fields) specify a range of dates and times.
          The rest of the fields constitute a list of names of file
          systems to be printed if ckbupscd is run at some time within
          the range given by the schedule fields.  The general format
          is:

               time[,time] day[,day] month[,month] fsyslist

          where:

          time    Specifies an hour of the day (0 through 23),
                  matching any time within that hour, or an exact time
                  of day (0:00 through 23:59).

          day     Specifies a day of the week (sun through sat) or day
                  of the month (1 through 31).

          month   Specifies the month in which the time and day fields
                  are valid.  Legal values are the month numbers (1
                  through 12).

          fsyslist
                  The rest of the line is taken to be a file system
                  list to print.

          Multiple time, day, and month specifications may be
          separated by commas, in which case they are evaluated left
          to right.

          An asterisk (*) always matches the current value for that
          field.

          A line beginning with a sharp sign (#) is interpretted as a
