Chapter 11
Calendar Server Command-Line UtilitiesSun ONE Calendar Server provides a set of command-line administration utilities that can be invoked from batch, shell, and scripting programs such as Perl. If needed, these utilities use default values from the ics.conf configuration file. The command-line utilities are located in the following directory:
cal_svr_base/opt/SUNWics5/cal/sbin
This chapter provides the following information:
csattribute | csbackup | cscal | csclean | cscomponents | csdb
csdomain | csexport | csimport | csmonitor | csplugin | cspurge
csresource | csrestore | csschedule | csstart | csstats | csstop
csstored.pl | cstool | csuser | start-cal | stop-cal
Running the Command-Line UtilitiesOn Solaris Systems, run the command-line utilities while logged in as the user and group under which Calendar Server is running that was specified during installation (defaults are icsuser and icsgroup) or as root. In most cases, you must change to the directory where the utilities are located.For example, on Solaris Systems: cal_svr_base/opt/SUNWics5/cal/sbin.
Syntax for Command-Line Utilities
Calendar Server command-line utilities use the following syntax:
where:
utility is the executable name of the utility, such as cscal or csuser.
option determines which action the command performs. Options are in lowercase and preceded by a hyphen (-), such as -d. An option enclosed in brackets ([]) is optional. If indicated, of two or more options can be used at the same time.
value further qualifies the action specified by option, such as a description used with the -d option. A value enclosed in brackets ([]) is optional. Values that include spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks (" "). Multiple values must be enclosed in quotation marks (""), and each value must be separated by a space, unless indicated otherwise, such as the use of a semiclon delimited list.
command is an action the utility performs such as list or create. Commands separated by a vertical bar (|) indicate that either one (but not both) can be used at the same time.
target is the object on which the command takes effect, such as a calendar ID or user ID.
Usage Rules for Command-Line Utilities
The following rules are general usage guidelines for the command line utilities:
- If you specify only the utility name, it lists all commands, options, and several examples.
- If you do not specify a required password, the utility prompts you for it.
- The -v (verbose) and -q (quiet) options are available for each utility.
- If a command is dangerous (that is, one that could cause a data loss), the utility prompts for confirmation before executing the command. Examples of dangerous commands are cscal, which can delete a calendar, and csuser, which can delete a user. The -q (quiet) option, however, disables confirmation prompting.
- The version command is available for each utility.
Return Code in Scripts
If you run the command-line utilities from a script, the return code is “0” if the utility run successfully or “-1” for a failure.
Table of Command-Line UtilitiesTable 11-1 describes the Calendar Server command-line utilities.
csattributeThe csattribute utility manages Calendar Server attributes in the LDAP server. Commands are:
- add an LDAP attribute and value to a specified target (user or resource object).
- list the attributes of a target object.
- delete an attribute from a target.
Note
If your site is using the LDAP CLD plug-in, do not use csattribute to change the icsDWPHost attribute to specify a new back-end host server. Modifying icsDWPHost does not cause a new calendar to be created on the new back-end host. For more information, see "Configuring the LDAP Calendar Lookup Database (CLD) Plug-in".

Option
Description
-v
Run in verbose mode: Display all available information about the command being performed. Default is off.
-q
Run in quiet mode:
Default is off.
-a attribute =value
or
-a attribute [=value ]
An LDAP attribute and value:
-t user | resource
Type of target (user or resource object). Default is user.
[-d domain]
Specifies the name of a hosted (virtual) domain. Default is taken from the service.defaultdomain parameter in the ics.conf file.
Examples
csbackupThe csbackup utility backs up the calendar database, a specified calendar, or a user’s default calendar. Commands are:
The caldb.conf version file located in the specified backup directory shows the version number of the database that was backed up.
For information about csrestore, see "csrestore".
Requirements
- Calendar Server can be running or stopped.
- You must run the utility locally on the machine where Calendar Server is installed.
- On Solaris Systems, you must be logged in as the user and group under which Calendar Server is running (such as icsuser and icsgroup) that was specified during installation, or as root.
Syntax
csbackup [-q|-v] -f database target
csbackup [-q|-v] -c calid calendar target
csbackup [-q|-v] -a userid [-b basedn] defcal target
Table 11-4 describes the commands available for csbackup.
Table 11-4 csbackup Utility Commands
Command
Description
database target
Backs up the calendar database to the specified target database directory. By default, the target database directory is:
cal_svr_base/opt/SUNWics5/cal/sbin/target-directory
If you specify only the target database directory, do not include the slash (/) before the directory name. For example:
csbackup database backupdir
Note: The csbackup utility fails if the target backup directory already exists and you do not specify the -f option. For example, the following command fails if backupdir exists, even if the directory is empty:
csbackup database backupdir
Therefore, if you specify a target backup directory that already exists, include the -f option when you run csbackup.
You can also specify a non-existent target backup directory and let csbackup create the directory for you.
calendar calid target
Backs up the specified calendar ID to the specified target output file. The data format of the file is assumed by the file extension, .ics for text/calendar or .xml for text/xml.
defcal userid target
Backs up the default calendar of the specified user ID to the specified target file. The data format of the file is assumed by the file extension, .ics for text/calendar and .xml for text/xml.
version

-b basedn
The base DN to be used for this user. The default is taken from the setting local.ugldapbasedn defined in the ics.conf file.
The Base DN (distinguished name) is the entry in your LDAP directory used as the starting point from which searches occur.
For example, if you specify a base DN of ou=people, o=sesta.com, all LDAP search operations executed by Calendar Server examine only the ou=people subtree in the o=sesta.com directory tree.
-c calid
The calendar ID to backup. This option is required with the calendar command. There is no default.
For more information, see "Calendar Identifiers (calids)".
-f
To force any existing backup files to be deleted.
In the current release, you must include the -f option if the backup target directory already exists, even if the directory is empty.
-l
To prepare the backup file for use with the Solstice Backup or the Legato Networker backup programs. For more information, see Chapter 6, "Backing Up and Restoring Calendar Server Data".”
Examples
cscalThe cscal utility manages calendars and their properties. Commands are:
Requirements
- You must run the utility locally on the machine where Calendar Server is installed.
- Calendar Server can be running or stopped.
- On Solaris Systems, you must be logged in as the user and group under which Calendar Server is running (such as icsuser and icsgroup) that was specified during installation, or as root.

Table 11-6 describes the commands available for the cscal utility.
Table 11-6 cscal Utility Commands
Command
Description
create calid
Creates the calendar specified by calid.
Note: If your site is using the LDAP CLD plug-in, you must create a new calendar on the same back-end server where the user’s calendars reside (or will reside), as indicated by the user’s icsDWPHost LDAP attribute. If you try to create a calendar on a different back-end server, Calendar Server returns an error.
delete calid
Deletes the calendar specified by calid.
If the -o owner option is specified, deletes all calendars whose primary owner is the specified owner.
enable [calid]
Enables the calendar specified by calid. If calid is not specified, enables all calendars.
If the -o owner option is specified, enables all calendars whose primary owner is the specified owner.
disable [calid]
Disables the calendar specified by calid. If calid is not specified, disables all calendars.
If the -o owner option is specified, disables all calendars whose primary owner is the specified owner.
list [calid]
Lists properties of the calendar specified by calid. If calid is not specified, lists properties of all calendars.
If the -o owner option is specified, lists all calendars whose primary owner is the specified owner.
ACE strings are case insensitive. If the ACE has been modified through the Calendar Express GUI, the ACE characters that were modified show up in upper case.

Table 11-7 describes the cscal utility command options.
Table 11-7 cscal Utility Command Options
Option
Description
-v
Run in verbose mode: Display all available information about the command being performed. Default is off.
-q
Run in quiet mode:
Default is off.
-a [aces]
Access Control Entries (ACEs) for a specified calendar. ACEs determine who can access a calendar for group scheduling and the types of permissions they have, such as create, delete, read, and write privileges. An ACE string or Access Control List (ACL), must be enclosed in quotation marks (" ").
The default is the calstore.calendar.default.acl parameter in the ics.conf file.
For details about the ACE format, see Chapter 4, "Managing Calendar Server Access Control".”
-c charset
Character set. The default is no character set.
-d description
Description (a viewable comment about the purpose of the calendar). The default is no description.
-g category
Category. Multiple categories must be enclosed in quotation marks ("") and separated by spaces. The default is no category.
-k yes|no
Specifies whether double booking is allowed for a user calendar. For example, yes means the calendar can have more than one event scheduled for the same time slot.
If the -k option is omitted, the default is taken from the user.allow.doublebook parameter in the ics.conf file. However, the user.allow.doublebook parameter is used only when a calendar is created.
After a calendar is created, Calendar Server checks the calendar properties (ics50calprops.db) to determine if double booking is allowed. If you need to change the calendar properties for a calendar to allow or disallow double booking, reissue cscal with the -k option.
-l langcode
Language code. The default is no language code.
-m email
Email address. The default is no email.
-n name
Name. The default is no name.
-o owner
Primary owner. The default setting is the calendar ID (calid), which is usually the same as the user ID.

Specifies all calendars of the primary owner. Default is the named calendar only.
-y otherowners
Other calendar owners. Multiple owners must be enclosed in quotation marks("") and separated by spaces. The default is no other owners.
Examples
cscleanThe csclean utility removes user and resource calendars for Calendar Server users whose status attribute (inetUserStatus) has been marked as “deleted” by the Sun ONE Identity Server commadmin utility.
Deletion of a Calendar Server user involves these steps:
- Run the commadmin utility user delete command to mark the either the user or the user’s calendar service as “deleted”.
- Run the csclean utility to remove the user’s corresponding calendars from the calendar database and to mark the user’s the inetUserStatus attribute as “removed”.
- Run the commadmin utility domain purge command to remove the user’s LDAP entry.
For information about the commadmin utility, refer to the Sun ONE Messaging and Collaboration 1.0 User Management Utility Installation and Reference Guide.
Sun ONE Messaging Server uses a similar utility, msuerpurge, to remove users from the message store. For information about the msuserpurge utility, refer to the Sun ONE Messaging Server 6.0 Reference Manual.
Requirements
- Calendar Server can be running or stopped.
- You must run csclean locally on the machine where Calendar Server is installed.

For the create command, specifies the unique name of a new domain that will be created in the LDAP directory.
For example: west.sesta.com
LDAP Attributes and Property Names
The following tables describe the LDAP attributes and property names that apply to the csdomain utility. These attributes are part of the icsCalendarDomain object class. When you add or delete a value, you must use the property name and not the attribute name.
If you add or update domain LDAP attributes using csdomain, restart Calendar Server for the new values to take effect.
icsAllowRights Attribute: csdomain Utility
Table 11-15 describes the icsAllowRights attribute and properties that you can set with the csdomain utility. This attribute is a 32-bit numeric string, with each bit in the string corresponding to a specific user right. (In the current release, some bits are not used and are set to zero by default.) If a bit corresponding to a specific right is set (value=1), the right is not allowed. If the bit is not set (value=0), the right is allowed.
Each property in the icsAllowRights attribute has a corresponding ics.conf parameter. If a property is not set (value = 0) or is not present (service.virtualdomain.support = “no”), Calendar Server uses the corresponding ics.conf parameter as the default value.
The value for icsAllowRights is a numeric string and not an integer. To use icsAllowRights programatically in bitwise operations, you must first convert its string value to an integer.

Disable the specified user ID for calendaring. The utility defines http as the value of the nswcalDisallowAccess attribute.
enable userid
Enable the specified user ID for calendaring. (The utility adds the specified calendar ID to the nswcalCALID attribute.)
list [userid]
List the calendar attributes for the specified user ID. If user ID is not specified, list attributes for all enabled users.
If the -h server-name option is included, list the calendar attributes for the specified user ID (or all enabled users) on that back-end server.
reset userid
Reset all calendar attributes for a user ID to their default settings.
Note: After the calendar attributes for a user ID have been reset, all of the calendar attributes are removed from the user’s LDAP entry, including icsCalendarUser (object class), icsSubscribed, icsCalendarOwned, icsCalendar, and icsDWPHost (if the user is in an LDAP CLD setup). A Calendar Server administrator then cannot create calendars on the user’s behalf.
These attributes are restored in the user’s LDAP entry when the Calendar Server administrator issues a csuser enable command for the user.

-d domain
Specifies the name of a hosted (virtual) domain. Default is taken from the service.defaultdomain parameter in the ics.conf file.
-a [aces]
Access Control Entries (ACEs) for a specified calendar. ACEs determine who can access a calendar for group scheduling and the types of permissions they have, such as create, delete, read, and write privileges. An ACE string or Access Control List (ACL), must be enclosed in quotation marks ("").
Default is:

The default is taken from the local.ugldapbasedn parameter in the ics.conf file.

For more information, see "Calendar Identifiers (calids)".
