volmissing(1)

NAME

volmissing − notify user that volume requested is not on media in the CD-ROM or floppy drive

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/vold/volmissing [ −c ] [ −s ] [ −m alias ]

DESCRIPTION

volmissing() informs a user when a requested volume is not available. Depending on the option selected, users are notified through their console window, the syslogd(1M), or a mail message.

volmissing −c is the default event taken by vold(1M), the Volume Management daemon, when it needs to notify a user that the requested volume is not available. If you want to change this default event, modify the /etc/vold.conf file.

You can change the notification method for your system by editing the vold.conf configuration file and providing a new option for volmissing() in the notify entry under the Events category.

OPTIONS

−c Send a message to the user’s console until requested volume is inserted. To end the notification without inserting the requested volume, use volcancel(1).

−s Send one message to the syslogd(1M).

−m alias
Send a mail message to the specified mail alias about the missing volume.

FILES
