Old 05-23-2012
We concluded last time that the script will behave differently according to the length of the expanded filenames parameter to the ksh sub-shell. Truncation of the command line in AIX is a well-known issue.

After a failure the script may appear to work providing that it is run more than one time.

It is possible to rewrite the script to not contain the design error and to remove some pointless processing.

The absence of a syntax error or other runtime error does not mean that a process has worked. Did you count the number of input files and compare with the number of output files?

cdslinvchk

cdslinvchk(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     cdslinvchk(8)

NAME

       cdslinvchk - Checks the CDSL inventory of the base operating system and layered applications.

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/cdslinvchk [log_file_path]

OPTIONS

       The path name to a location for the log file.  By default this will be /var/adm/cdsl_check_list.

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the cdslinvchk script to verify the current inventory of Context Dependent Symbolic Links (CDSLs) on a running system.  CDSLs are spe-
       cial symbolic links that enable a system to work in a cluster.  If CDSLs are accidentally removed, your system will not function  correctly
       in  a cluster.  While this is not a problem for stand-alone systems, you may not be able to add the system as a member of a working cluster
       at some future time.  You can run this script at any time or configure it to run at system start-up, or as a cron task.

       When you invoke the script, it checks the CDSLs on the running system against CDSLs of the installed inventory in /usr/.smdb and the  addi-
       tional  entries	in  /var/adm/cdsl_admin.inv, and ensures that each target file exists on the system as a properly-constituted CDSL. If the
       check is successful, the following message is displayed and the script terminates: Successful CDSL inventory check

       If the script finds inconsistencies in the inventory, warning messages are displayed on your terminal and logged to the default log file at
       /var/adm/cdsl_check_list.   You	can specify an alternate location for the log fill if required.  The script locates any modified, missing,
       or replaced CDSLs.  Note that the previous copy of the log file is renamed and retained for reference and is renamed by	appending  to  the
       filename.

       Refer  to  the  System Administration guide for information on recreating any missing or broken CDSLs.  Refer to the hier(5) reference page
       for an inventory of CDSLs.

   MESSAGES
       One or more of the following messages may be displayed and logged to the log file: Unable to create <pathname> report file  --  the  script
       was  not able to create a log file.  Check the target directory and security.  Expected CDSL: <cdsl_pathname> -> <pathname> CDSL Target has
       been modified to: <pathname> CDSL has been replaced with <pathname> CDSL is missing Failed CDSL inventory check. See details in <log file>

FILES

       Additional inventory file entries.  This file will not exist on all systems.  The current and previous log files for inventory  errors  and
       messages

       Commands: cron(8)
