How to Run ASET Interactively

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Run ASET interactively by using the aset command.


    # /usr/aset/aset -l level -d pathname
    

    level

    Specifies the level of security. Valid values are low, medium, or high. The default setting is low. For detailed information about security levels see ASET Security Levels.

    pathname

    Specifies the working directory for ASET. The default is /usr/aset.

  3. Verify that ASET is running by viewing the ASET execution log that is displayed on the screen.

    The execution log message identifies which tasks are being run.

Example—Running ASET Interactively

The following example shows ASET being run at low security with the default working directory.


# /usr/aset/aset -l low
======= ASET Execution Log =======
 
ASET running at security level low
 
Machine = jupiter; Current time = 0111_09:26
 
aset: Using /usr/aset as working directory
 
Executing task list ...
	firewall
	env
	sysconf
	usrgrp
	tune
	cklist
	eeprom
 
All tasks executed. Some background tasks may still be running.
 
Run /usr/aset/util/taskstat to check their status:
 /usr/aset/util/taskstat [aset_dir]
 
where aset_dir is ASET's operating
directory,currently=/usr/aset.
 
When the tasks complete, the reports can be found in:
 /usr/aset/reports/latest/*.rpt
 
You can view them by:
 more /usr/aset/reports/latest/*.rpt
