DEBCONF-SHOW(1) Debconf DEBCONF-SHOW(1)NAME
debconf-show - query the debconf database
SYNOPSIS
debconf-show packagename [...] [--db=dbname]
debconf-show --listowners [--db=dbname]
debconf-show --listdbs
DESCRIPTION
debconf-show lets you query the debconf database in different ways.
The most common use is "debconf-show packagename", which displays all items in the debconf database owned by a given package, and their
current values. Questions that have been asked already are prefixed with an '*'.
This can be useful as a debugging aid, and especially handy in bug reports involving a package's use of debconf.
OPTIONS --db=dbname
Specify the database to query. By default, debconf-show queries the main database.
--listowners
Lists all owners of questions in the database. Generally an owner is equivalent to a debian package name.
--listdbs
Lists all available databases.

debconf - run a debconf-using program
SYNOPSIS
debconf [options] command [args]
DESCRIPTION
Debconf is a configuration system for Debian packages. For a debconf overview and documentation for sysadmins, see debconf(7) (in the
debconf-doc package).
The debconf program runs a program under debconf's control, setting it up to talk with debconf on stdio. The program's output is expected
to be debconf protocol commands, and it is expected to read result codes on stdin. See debconf-devel(7) for details about the debconf
protocol.
The command to be run under debconf must be specified in a way that will let your PATH find it.
This command is not the usual way that debconf is used. It's more typical for debconf to be used via dpkg-preconfigure(8) or
dpkg-reconfigure(8).
OPTIONS -opackage, --owner=package
Tell debconf what package the command it is running is a part of. This is necessary to get ownership of registered questions right, and
to support unregister and purge commands properly.
-ftype, --frontend=type
Select the frontend to use.
-pvalue, --priority=value
Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed.
--terse
Enables terse output mode. This affects only some frontends.
EXAMPLES
To debug a shell script that uses debconf, you might use:
DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer debconf my-shell-prog
Or, you might use this:
debconf --frontend=readline sh -x my-shell-prog

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

I used to use ls -l cut to detrmine file size, and google searches didn't come up with anything else but 'stat' which doesn't appear on HPUX.
I discovered the humble 'wc -c' which does this job very neatly, and thought I would share it. (7 Replies)

Hi,
I am very new to HP-UX, and we're going to be doing a SAN migration.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
