SYNOPSIS

       volcheck [-v] [-i secs] [-t secs] pathname

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -i secs	  Set the frequency of device checking to secs seconds.  The default is 2 seconds.  The minimum frequency is 1 second.

       -t secs	  Check the named device(s) for the next secs seconds.	The maximum number of seconds allowed is 28800, which is 8 hours. The fre-
		  quency of checking is specified by -i. There is no default total time.

       -v	  Verbose.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       pathname    The path name of a media device.

		 /dev/diskette has media

       asks volume management to examine the floppy drive for new media.

       The following example

		 example% volcheck -i 2 -t 600 /dev/diskette1 &

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |

WARNINGS

       Due  to a hardware limitation in many floppy drives, the act of checking for media causes mechanical action in the floppy drive.   Continu-
       ous polling of the floppy drive will cause the drive to wear out. It is recommended that polling the drive only be performed during periods
       of high use.
