UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB(8)                                       SMART Monitoring Tools                                       UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB(8)

NAME

       update-smart-drivedb - update smartmontools drive database

SYNOPSIS

       update-smart-drivedb [OPTIONS] [DESTFILE]

DESCRIPTION

       [This man page is generated for the Linux version of smartmontools.  It does not contain info specific to other platforms.]

       update-smart-drivedb updates /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h or DESTFILE from smartmontools SVN repository.

       It  tries  to  download  first  from  the  current  branch and then from trunk. The tools used for downloading are either curl(1), wget(1),
       lynx(1), or svn(1).

       The old file is kept if the downloaded file is identical (ignoring the differences in Id string) otherwise it is moved to drivedb.h.old.

OPTIONS

       -s SMARTCTL
              Use the smartctl(8) executable at path SMARTCTL for drive database syntax check.  The form '-s -' disables the  syntax  check.   The
              default is /usr/sbin/smartctl.

       -t TOOL
              Use TOOL for download.  TOOL is one of: curl wget lynx svn.  The default is the first one found in PATH.

       -u LOCATION
              Use URL of LOCATION for download. LOCATION is one of:
              sf (Sourceforge code browser via HTTPS),
              svn (SVN repository via HTTPS),
              svni (SVN repository via HTTP),
              trac (Trac code browser via HTTPS).
              The default is svn.

       --cacert FILE
              Use CA certificates from FILE to verify the peer.

       --capath DIR
              Use CA certificate files from DIR to verify the peer.

       --insecure
              Don't abort download if certificate verification fails.  This option is also required if a HTTP URL is selected with '-u' option.

       --dryrun
              Print download commands only.

       -v     Verbose output.

EXAMPLES

       # update-smart-drivedb
       /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h updated from branches/RELEASE_6_6_DRIVEDB

EXIT STATUS

       The exit status is 0 if the database has been successfully updated. If an error occurs the exit status is 1.

FILES

       /usr/sbin/update-smart-drivedb
              full path of this script.

       /usr/sbin/smartctl
              used to check syntax of new drive database.

       /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h
              current drive database.

       /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h.old
              previous drive database.

       /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h.error
              new drive database if rejected due to syntax errors.

       /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h.lastcheck
              empty file created if downloaded file was identical.

NAME

       scrollkeeper-update - identify new, modified, or removed OMF files and update the scrollkeeper databases

SYNOPSIS

       scrollkeeper-update [ -v ] [ -q ] [ -p database-directory ] [ -o omf-directories ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  synchronizes  the	scrollkeeper database with the OMF directory.  It searches the scrollkeeper OMF directory to identify if any files
       were added, removed, or modified and updates its internal database files to reflect any changes.

       This utility is generally executed as the last step of installation, after the OMF file is copied into place.  It  is  also  typically  the
       last  step  of uninstallation, after the OMF file is removed.  Using this, an administrator can easily manually install and uninstall docu-
       ments into the database.  It can also be run to guarantee the database is fully up-to-date.

       Note that because scrollkeeper-update is normally run during installation and its output is typically seen by users, non-critical  warnings
       and  errors  such as those caused by invalid metadata are written to the log file instead of to the terminal. Developers should use the log
       file to identify any problems.

OPTIONS

       -v     Be verbose: Say which scrollkeeper-install and scrollkeeper-uninstall commands are being run to bring the database up to date.

       -q     Run in quiet mode, suppressing output of all but the most serious warning and error messages to STDOUT.  Note that  most	output	to
	      the log file will be unchanged.

       -p database-directory
	      Use  database-directory  as  the	directory  for	the scrollkeeper database rather than the usual one obtained by running omf-config
	      --pkglocalstatedir.

       -o omf-directories
	      Examine the directories named in omf-directories rather than the one usual one obtained by running scrollkeeper-config --omfdir  (or
	      specified in the OMF_DIR environment variable if set).  The omf-directories should be a colon-separated list of directories.

ENVIRONMENT

       OMF_DIR
	      If  no  -o  option is specified, this variable overrides the scrollkeeper-config-provided OMF directory.	It should be a colon-sepa-
	      rated list of directories.

FILES

       /var/lib/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_docs
       /var/lib/scrollkeeper/TOC/<docnumber>
       /var/lib/scrollkeeper/<locale>/scrollkeeper_cl.xml
