Configuring Checkpointing Environments From the Command Line

To configure the checkpointing environment from the command line, type the qconf command with the appropriate options.

The following options are available:

• qconf -ackpt ckpt-name

  The -ackpt option (add checkpointing environment) displays an editor containing a checkpointing environment configuration template. The editor is either the default vi editor or an editor corresponding to the EDITOR environment variable. The parameter ckpt-name specifies the name of the checkpointing environment. The parameter is already provided in the corresponding field of the template. Configure the checkpointing environment by changing the template and saving to disk. See the checkpoint(5) man page for a detailed description of the template entries to be changed.

• qconf -Ackpt filename

  The -Ackpt option (add checkpointing environment from file) parses the specified file and adds the new checkpointing environment configuration.

  The file must have the format of the checkpointing environment template.

• qconf -dckpt ckpt-name

  The -dckpt option (delete checkpointing environment) deletes the specified checkpointing environment.

• qconf -mckpt ckpt-name

  The -mckpt option (modify checkpointing environment) displays an editor containing the specified checkpointing environment as a configuration template. The editor is either the default vi editor or an editor corresponding to the EDITOR environment variable. Modify the checkpointing environment by changing the template and saving to disk. See the checkpoint(5) man page for a detailed description of the template entries to be changed.

• qconf -Mckpt filename

  The -Mckpt option (modify checkpointing environment from file) parses the specified file and modifies the existing checkpointing configuration.

  The file must have the format of the checkpointing environment template.

• qconf -sckpt ckpt-name

  The -sckpt option (show checkpointing environment) prints the configuration of the specified checkpointing environment to standard output.

• qconf -sckptl

  The -sckptl option (show checkpointing environment list) displays a list of the names of all checkpointing environments currently configured.
