Operating Systems Solaris File size setting Post 302186808 by exterminator on Friday 18th of April 2008 06:06:49 AM

Error File size setting
There is a file in my Unix Server whose size will be constant.
But every day when the sheduled jobs run in the server, that file gets updated but the size does not change.
Upon doing file filename
It is dispalyed as a binary file.

Can anyone please explain how that file is created.
How is memory alloted for the file at first itself.

The same file after many months of job run will not get updated.
Then a new fie has to be created.


Thanks In Advance

atrm

atrm(1) 							   User Commands							   atrm(1)

NAME

       atrm - remove jobs spooled by at or batch

SYNOPSIS

       atrm [-afi] [ [ job  #] [user...]]

DESCRIPTION

       The atrm utility removes delayed-execution jobs that were created with the at(1) command, but have not yet executed. The list of these jobs
       and associated job numbers can be displayed by using atq(1).

       atrm removes each job-number you specify, and/or all jobs belonging to the user you specify, provided that you own the indicated jobs.

       You can only remove jobs belonging to other users if you have solaris.jobs.admin privileges.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -a	All. Removes all unexecuted jobs that were created by the current user. If invoked by the privileged user, the entire  queue  will
		be flushed.

       -f	Force.	All information regarding the  removal of the specified jobs is suppressed.

       -i	Interactive. atrm asks if a job should be removed. If you respond with a y, the job will be removed.

FILES

       /var/spool/cron/atjobs	       spool area for at jobs
