volmissing(1)                                                      User Commands                                                     volmissing(1)

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/vold/volmissing [-c] [-p] [-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,  syslogd(1M), or a mail message.

       volmissing -p is the default action taken by vold(1M), the Volume Management daemon, when it needs to notify a user that the requested vol-
       ume is not available.  If you want to change this default event, modify the /etc/vold.conf file. See vold.conf(4).

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

OPTIONS

       -c              Send a message to the user's console requesting the volume be inserted. To  end  the  notification  without  inserting  the
                       requested volume, use volcancel(1).

       -p              All volmissing events will be handled through a GUI, provided a window system is running on the console.  If this option is
                       specified, and no window system is running, all messages go to the system console.

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

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

FILES
