NAME

sact − print current SCCS file editing activity

SYNOPSIS

sact files

HP-UX COMPATIBILITY

Level: HP-UX/STANDARD

Origin: System III

DESCRIPTION

Sact informs the user of any impending deltas to a named SCCS file.  This situation occurs when get(1) with the −e option has been previously executed without a subsequent execution of delta(1). If a directory is named on the command line, sact behaves as though each file in the directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files (last component of path name does not begin with s.) and unreadable files are silently ignored.  If a name of − is given, the standard input is read with each line being taken as the name of an SCCS file to be processed. 

The output for each named file consists of five fields separated by spaces. 

Field 1 specifies the SID of a delta that currently exists in the SCCS file to which changes will be made to make the new delta. 

Field 2 specifies the SID for the new delta to be created. 

Field 3 contains the logname of the user who will make the delta (i.e., executed a get for editing). 

Field 4 contains the date that get −e was executed. 

Field 5 contains the time that get −e was executed.
