NAME

       updatehome - update the home directory copy and link files for the current label

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/updatehome  [-cirs]

DESCRIPTION

       updatehome reads the user's minimum-label copy and link-control files (.copy_files and .link_files). These files contain a list of files to
       be copied and symbolically linked from the user's minimum-label home directory to the user's home directory at the current label.

       The Solaris Trusted Extensions dtsession program performs an updatehome whenever a newly labeled workspace is created so  that  the  user's
       favorite  files	are  available	for  use.  For example, the user probably wants a symbolic link to such files as .profile, .login, .cshrc,
       .exrc, .mailrc, and ~/bin. The updatehome command provides a convenient mechanism for accomplishing this symlink. The user can add files to
       those to be copied (.copy_files) and to those to be symbolically linked (.link_files).

OPTIONS

       -c    Replace existing home-directory copies at the current label. The default is to skip over existing copies.

       -i    Ignore errors encountered. The default aborts on error.

       -r    Replace  existing home-directory copies or symbolic links at the current label. This option implies options -c and -s. The default is
	     to skip over existing copies or symbolic links.

       -s    Replace existing home-directory symbolic links at the current label. The default is to skip over existing symbolic links.

EXIT STATUS

       Upon success, updatehome returns 0. Upon failure, updatehome returns 1 and writes diagnostic messages to standard error.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 A Sample .copy_files File

       The files that are listed in .copy_files can be modified at every user's label.

	 .cshrc
	 .mailrc
	 .mozilla/bookmarks.html

       Example 2 A Sample .link_files File

       The files that are listed in .link_files can be modified at the lowest label. The changes propagate to the other labels that are  available
       to the user.

	 ~/bin
	 .mozilla/preferences
	 .xrc
	 .rhosts

       Example 3 Updating the Linked and Copied Files

       The  .copy_files  and  .link_files  were updated by the user at the minimum label. At a higher label, the user refreshes the copies and the
       links. No privileges are required to run the command.

	 % updatehome -r

FILES
