NAME

fverify − verify software subsets

SYNTAX

fverify [−yn]

DESCRIPTION

The fverify command ensures the correctness of installed software and reports inconsistencies in file size, checksum, user ID, group ID, mode, and file type. File user ID, group ID, and mode inconsistencies may be optionally corrected.

The fverify command reads software subset inventory records from standard input and verifies that the files on the system match the corresponding records. Invoking fverify with no arguments causes it to report errors to the standard output and prompts the user before making corrections. Use of the −n switch causes fverify to report errors only. Use of the −y switch causes fverify to silently correct all minor errors.

The fverify command logs all of its findings on the file /verify.log for later inspection.

EXAMPLES

To verify the BASE subset on ULTRIX-32, Version 2.2, use the following command:

fverify -n </usr/etc/subsets/ULTBASE022.inv

The -n switch causes errors to be reported, but not corrected.
