Document Conventions Used in This Guide

This guide uses conventions for the Solaris OS. If you are running Calendar Server on another operating system, use the file path equivalents for your operating system whenever Solaris file paths are shown.

Monospaced Font

The Monospaced Font typeface is used for any text that appears on the computer screen or text that you should type. It is also used for file names, distinguished names, functions, and examples.

Italicized Font

The Italicized Font typeface represents text that you enter using information unique to your installation. It is used for server directory paths and names. For example, in this guide you will see directory path references in the form:

In these situations, cal_svr_base represents the base or root directory where Calendar Server 6 2005Q1 is installed.

Square Brackets [ ]

Square (or straight) brackets [ ] enclose optional parameters. For example, the syntax for the csdb utility check command is: csdb check [dbdir]

The dbdir parameter is optional. If you omit dbdir, the csdb utility uses the current directory specified in the ics.conf file.

Braces { }

Braces { } enclose a group of items from which you must choose one item. For example, in the following syntax, you must specify either the -a or -f option:

Vertical Bar (|)

A vertical bar (|) separates alternatives in a horizontal list. For example, the syntax for the csdb utility create or delete command uses the vertical bar to specify various options you can use:

Command-Line Prompts

Command-line prompts (such as % for a C-Shell or $ for a Korn or Bourne shell) are not shown in the examples in this guide. The actual prompt you will see depends on the operating system you are using. Unless specifically noted, enter each command as it appears in this document.
