New and Enhanced Utilities
Two new utilities have been added to MPE/iX and FSCHECK has been
enhanced.
New utility: PXUTIL
This new utility was created to maintain the POSIX-required user and
group databases. When updating to or installing Release 5.0, MPE/iX
automatically creates the user ID (UID) and group ID (GID) databases.
The PXUTIL utility is available for version information and backdating
capabilities.
A complete description of PXUTIL is included the MPE/iX System Utilities
Reference Manual (32650-90081).
New backdating tool
The enhancements introduced as of Release 4.5 and 5.0, such as the use of
hierarchical directories, files located outside groups, and byte-stream
files all serve to complicate the backdating process. MPE/iX provides a
program called BDREPORT to simplify backdating. Refer to Chapter 3 for a
description of this program. Refer to the HP 3000 MPE/iX Installation,
Update, and Add-On Manual (36123-90001) for information on backdating
your system.
Utility enhancements
Table 2-7 summarizes enhancements to FSCHECK, DEBUG, and FCOPY. For
detailed information on these utilities, refer to Chapter 3 of the MPE/iX
System Utilities Reference Manual (32650-90081). Enhancements have also
been made to DISCUTIL and VOLUTIL.
