Solaris 8 Advanced Installation Guide

Syntax of check

This is the syntax of the check script you use to test a rules file:


$ ./check [[-p path]] [[-r file_name]]

Table 18–9 Description of check Script Arguments

Argument 

Description 

-p path

Validates the rules file by using the check script from the Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 SPARC Platform Edition or Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 Intel Platform Edition CD image, instead of the check script from the system you are using. path is the image on a local disk or a mounted Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 SPARC Platform Edition or Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 Intel Platform Edition CD.

Use this option to run the most recent version of check if your system is running a previous version of Solaris.

-r file_name

Specifies a rules file other than the one named rules. Using this option, you can test the validity of a rule before integrating it into the rules file.
