|
<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
|
|
<P>The <B>package</B> command configures the machine's local disk to
|
|
comply with the instructions in the configuration file named by the
|
|
<B>-config</B> or <B>-fullconfig</B> argument.
|
|
<P>By default, the <B>package</B> command alters any existing local disk
|
|
element whose contents or configuration does not match the element defined in
|
|
the configuration file. For example, if a configuration file
|
|
<B>D</B> instruction defines a directory that has the same name as a
|
|
symbolic link on the local disk, the <B>package</B> command replaces the
|
|
symbolic link with the directory. The <B>F</B> and <B>L</B>
|
|
instructions include an optional <VAR>update_code</VAR> field that alters this
|
|
behavior.
|
|
<P>Also by default, the <B>package</B> command takes no action on elements
|
|
on the local disk that are not mentioned in the configuration file. Use
|
|
the <B>D</B> instruction's <B>R</B> update code to remove files
|
|
from the disk directory that are not mentioned in the configuration
|
|
file.
|
|
<P>Before running the <B>package</B> command, the administrator must
|
|
create the template file and other files on the local disk. For
|
|
instructions, see the <I>IBM AFS Administration Guide</I>.
|
|
<P>It is not possible to configure a remote client machine's disk using
|
|
this command.
|
|
<P><STRONG>Cautions</STRONG>
|
|
<P>The <B>package</B> command interpreter exits without executing any
|
|
instruction if there are any syntax errors or incorrect values in the
|
|
configuration file.
|
|
<P><STRONG>Options</STRONG>
|
|
<DL>
|
|
<P><DT><B>initcmd
|
|
</B><DD>Accommodates the command's use of the AFS command parser, and is
|
|
optional.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-config
|
|
</B><DD>Specifies the pathname of the configuration file to use, ending in the
|
|
file's base name, which omits the suffix that indicates the machine
|
|
type. The <B>package</B> command determines the machine's
|
|
system type name and automatically appends it to the base name. An
|
|
example of the proper value for this argument is <B>staff</B> rather than
|
|
<B>staff.rs_aix42</B>. Partial pathnames are interpreted
|
|
relative to the current working directory.
|
|
<P>Provide this argument or the <B>-fullconfig</B> argument.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-fullconfig
|
|
</B><DD>Specifies the configuration file to use. Two types of values are
|
|
acceptable:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<P><LI>The full pathname of the configuration file to use, complete with an
|
|
extension indicating the machine type (examples:
|
|
<B>staff.rs_aix42</B>, <B>admin.sun4x_56</B>).
|
|
<P><LI>The string <B>stdin</B> to indicate that the issuer is providing
|
|
configuration information via the standard input stream, either by piping in
|
|
the contents of a file, or by typing configuration lines at the shell.
|
|
In the latter case, type <B><Ctrl-d></B> to conclude the input.
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>Provide this argument or the <B>-config</B> argument.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-overwrite
|
|
</B><DD>Overwrites elements on the local disk with the source version indicated in
|
|
the configuration file, even if the owner <B>write</B> (<B>w</B>) mode
|
|
bit is turned on the disk element. Files protected by the <B>I</B>
|
|
update code on an <B>F</B> line in the configuration file are not
|
|
overwritten.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-noaction
|
|
</B><DD>Checks the sequence of operations to be performed when the command
|
|
actually runs and reports any problems that the <B>package</B> command
|
|
interpreter expects to encounter. No elements on the local disk or in
|
|
AFS are changed. If the <B>-verbose</B> flag is also provided, the
|
|
trace includes all actions to be performed as well as anticipated
|
|
errors.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-silent
|
|
</B><DD>Suppresses some of the trace messages sent to the standard output stream
|
|
by default. The output still reports major problems.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-verbose
|
|
</B><DD>Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the
|
|
command's execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings
|
|
and error messages appear.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-rebootfiles
|
|
</B><DD>Prevents overwriting of any file marked with the <B>Q</B> update code
|
|
on an <B>F</B> line in the configuration file. This effectively
|
|
prevents the machine from rebooting automatically again when the
|
|
<B>package</B> command is invoked in the machine's AFS initialization
|
|
file.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-debug
|
|
</B><DD>Enables debugging output, which is directed to the standard output stream
|
|
by default. By default, no debugging output is produced.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-help
|
|
</B><DD>Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
|
|
are ignored.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<P><STRONG>Examples</STRONG>
|
|
<P>This command is usually invoked in a client machine's AFS
|
|
initialization file (<B>/etc/rc</B> or equivalent), rather than issued at
|
|
the command shell prompt.
|
|
<P>The following command invokes the version of the <B>staff</B>
|
|
configuration file appropriate for this machine's system type, and
|
|
produces verbose output.
|
|
<PRE> # <B>/etc/package -c staff -v</B>
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>The following example uses the configuration file whose basename is defined
|
|
in the <B>/.package</B> file on the local machine. This
|
|
method enables the administrator to use the same <B>package</B> command in
|
|
every machine's AFS initialization file but still customize configuration
|
|
by putting the appropriate basename in the <B>/.package</B>
|
|
file.
|
|
<PRE> # <B>/etc/package -c `cat /.package` -v</B>
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P><STRONG>Privilege Required</STRONG>
|
|
<P>The issuer must be logged in as the local superuser <B>root</B>.
