What I really want to know is how it happened.How did all those files got deleted in ther first place?
Difficult to say without knowing what find found, but a path name with spaces in it may cause unintended splitting whenever unquoted.
/path/with /usr/ would split into '/path/with' and '/usr/' for instance.
Why this script was running as root is another good soul-searching question. Preventing program bugs from getting too out of control is one reason file permissions exist, but root bypasses all that.

Hi,
Somebody/somebody removed all contents /vat/sadm on Solaris 10 Sparc box.
As of now server is up and running. There is no backup for this server.
If we copy contents from another equivalent server, can it work ?
We don't know if it will be fixed by booting form DVD also.
Any suggestions? (4 Replies)

DtWsmChangeBackdrop(API) DtWsmChangeBackdrop(API)
NAME
DtWsmChangeBackdrop -- set current workspace's backdrop
SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Wsm.h>
int DtWsmChangeBackdrop(
Display *display,
Window root,
char *path,
Pixmap pixmap);
DESCRIPTION
The DtWsmChangeBackdrop function works with the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), and changes the current workspace's backdrop. Applications
can use this function to implement an interface to the workspace manager.
If the DtWsmChangeBackdrop function is not successful, the most likely reason for failure is that the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), is
not running.
DtWsmChangeBackdrop sends a message to the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), to change the backdrop.
The path argument points to a backdrop file name. The file must be in either X Bitmap file format (with extension .bm) or Pixmap file for-
mat (with extension .pm). The workspace management services look for the file along the same path used for searching icons. The directory
/usr/dt/backdrops is the default directory if the file cannot be found along the icon search path.
ARGUMENTS
display display
root root window of the screen
path file path to bitmap file
pixmap pixmap ID of backdrop pixmap
