Maintaining and Updating ToolTalk Databases

Information about files and objects in the ToolTalk databases can become outdated if the ToolTalk-enhanced shell commands are not used to copy, move, and remove them. For example, you can remove a file old_file that contains ToolTalk objects from the file system with the standard rm command. However, because the standard shell command does not inform the ToolTalk service that old_file has been removed, the information about the file and the individual objects remains in the ToolTalk database.

To remove the file and object information from the ToolTalk database, use the command:

ttrm -L old_file
