Displaying When NIS+ Replicas Were Last Updated

When used with the -u option, the nisping command displays the update times for the master and replicas of the local domain.

/usr/lib/nis/nisping -u [domain]

To display the last updates in some other domain, specify the domain name in the command line. Note that when used with the -u option, the nisping command does not actually ping any replicas.

For example, to display the most recent replica update times for the local doc.com. domain, you would enter:

rootmaster# /usr/lib/nisping -u
Last updates for directory doc.com.:
Master server is rootmaster.doc.com.
 Last update occurred at Wed Nov 25 10:53:37 1992
Replica server is rootreplica1.doc.com.
 Last update seen was Wed Nov 25 10:53:37 1992
