Changed System Management Commands in Section 1M

This section summarizes changes to commands in Section 1M of the HP-UX Reference manual (and the online manpages).

cron(1M)

Beginning at 10.30, the number of jobs that can be accommodated in the queues managed by cron has been increased from 40 to 100.

Also, the following defect was fixed: DSDe417734.

localedef(1M)

Beginning at 10.30, locales created by localedef(1M) will not be linked with libc. You will be impacted if both of the following are true:

You have archived internationalized applications, and
if you have not followed the instructions to build archived internationalized applications in Chapter 2 of the HP-UX Release Notes for 10.30.

mrouted(1M)

Beginning at 10.30, the mrouted daemon is based on the public domain mrouted 3.8. The mrouted 3.8 command contains bug fixes and replaces mrouted versions 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7. The following is a list of changed features:

The kernel and mrouted verify that each is the correct version. This prevents problems with mismatched kernel/mrouted versions. An outdated mrouted will stop with the error:
Can't enable DVMRP routing in kernel: Option not supported by protocol.
mrouted can accept and propogate a default route.
Kernel route cache keeps source-specific routes instead of subnet routes, eliminating hashing and longest-match problems. mrouted now allows classless routing.
Cached kernel routes only get deleted if no traffic is flowing to facilitate multicast trace routing.
Additional support for the configuration file:
- Allows named boundaries
- phyint can have additional subnets configured
- Added netmask to phyint configuration
- Default tunnels' rate_limit parameter has been changed to 500 kbps

The configuration file for mrouted 3.3 will also work for mrouted 3.5.

For details, see the mrouted(1M) manpage.

strdb(1M)

The streams debugger is being obsoleted in favor of q4. strdb is only usable on 32-bit live kernels (/dev/kmem), although it is recommended that q4 be used. To debug 32-bit multi-file dumps or 64-bit live kernels (live or crash dumps), q4 should be used with STREAMS perl scripts. For details, see the ReadMe.streams file in the directory where the q4 scripts are installed (usually /usr/contrib/lib/q4lib).

sysdef(1M)

You no longer have to specify the kernel file. Previously, you had to specify the same kernel file upon which the system was booted. At 11.0, the running kernel will automatically be queried. The kernel file may be specified for compatibility with existing scripts, but will be ignored.

tic(1M)

The -c option is new. This option checks terminfo source file for errors. A compiled binary file is not created.

In the -vn option, the optional integer n range is from 1 to 10. n indicates the desired level of detail of information.

useradd(1M) and usermod(1M)

Beginning at 10.30, every entry in the /etc/group file is limited to LINE_MAX characters. The commands useradd(1M) and usermod(1M) have been modified to warn you when this limit is being approached.

The useradd(1M) and usermod(1M) commands will not write the username in the primary group entry of the /etc/group file. Prior to 10.30, the username was written to the /etc/group file both for the primary and secondary group entries. This change impacts any script that searches the /etc/group file to find the primary group of a user. The scripts will fail because the username is no longer mentioned in its primary group entry of the /etc/group file.

When determining the primary group of a user, a lookup into the group ID mentioned in the /etc/passwd file is done instead of searching the /etc/group file.

volcopy(1M)

A new -y option has been added to volcopy(1M). It causes volcopy to assume a "yes" response to all questions.

volcopy_hfs(1M)

A new -y option has been added to volcopy_hfs(1M). It causes volcopy_hfs to assume a "yes" response to all questions.

volcopy_vxfs(1M)

A new -y optionhas been added to volcopy_vxfs(1M). It causes volcopy_vxfs to assume a "yes" response to all questions.

whodo(1M)

There are two new options and a new operand as shown below.

Options:

`-h`	Suppress the heading from being displayed.
`-l`	Produce more detailed output on who is doing what.

If user is specified, information pertaining only to user is displayed.
