Operating Systems Solaris Contents deleted from /var/sadm Post 303004268 by drysdalk on Thursday 28th of September 2017 04:33:23 PM

Hi,

That's good, that you at least have something that can take over while you do a re-build. In terms of repairing this - I'm not myself aware of a way of doing that, sadly. The problem is that the information about installed packages and patches only lives in /var/sadm, and if it's gone, it's gone. With all the files actually being totally gone rather than corrupt or otherwise experiencing a problem, I'm not aware of any way to re-build /var/sadm, since it is itself the database that keeps note of what's happened to the system. Since there is no other record, there's nothing to re-build from, if you follow.

Cleaning out /var/sadm/patch after Live Upgrade

I recently upgraded my OS to Solaris 10 10/09 from Solaris 10 06/06 using Live Upgrade. I wanted to clean up space in /var/sadm/patch. I'm assuming the server is now clean with a fresh version of Solaris 10 10/09. Can I safely remove everything in /var/sadm/patch? Thanks, jeremy (0 Replies)

NAME
build-lives-rfx-plugin-multi - builds rendered effects for LiVES SYNOPSIS
build-lives-rfx-plugin-multi type [scripts_dir exec_dir] [build_bindir] DESCRIPTION
This perl script builds rendered effects (RFX) plugins for LiVES. If scripts_dir is not defined then type is used to locate the plugin scripts directory and output directory. Type can be builtin (the default), custom, test, or builtinx. The type builtinx forces scripts_dir and exec_dir to be read from parameters and is used during LiVES install, and is the only type which should be used if scripts_dir is specified. Each plugin script in input directory is scanned to find its language code. The script is then passed to the script compiler for that lan- guage. The directory location of the script_compiler may be specified by the build_bindir parameter (as is the case during LiVES installa- tion0; otherwise the user's $PATH will be searched. Return values the script returns the following values 0 - success 1 - the "type" parameter was not defined, or set to an invalid value 3 - the builder for a plugin script was not found SEE ALSO
