la commande 'tuncheck' permet de vérifier la conformité du fichier donné en argument.
En générale, il s'agit du fichier se trouvant sous /etc/tunables, tel que nextboot ou lastboot.
Ainsi, la syntaxe est la suivante : "Usage: tuncheck [-r|-p] -f Filename"
La commande suivante vérifie ainsi le fichier 'nextboot':
# tuncheck -f /etc/tunables/nextboot
Checking successful
#
Les options '-r' et '-p' peuvent être ajouté.
L'option '-r' vérifie la conformité des paramètres pour la phase de boot.
L'option '-p' vérifie la conformité des paramètres pour une phase de boot mais également dans le contexte présent.
La syntaxe officielle est donnée ci-dessous.
tuncheck Command
Purpose
Validates a tunable file.
Syntax
tuncheck [ -r | -p ] -f Filename
Description
The tuncheck command validates a tunable file. All tunables listed in the specified file are checked for range and dependencies.
If a problem is detected, a warning is issued.
There are two types of validation:
against the current context
Checks to see if Filename could be applied immediately. Tunables not listed in Filename are interpreted as current values.
The checking fails if a tunable of type Incremental is listed with a smaller value than its current value; it also fails if
a tunable of type Bosboot or Reboot is listed with a different value than its current value.
against the next boot context
Checks to see if Filename could be applied during a reboot, that is, if it could be a valid nextboot file. Decreasing a
tunable of type Incremental is allowed. If a tunable of type Bosboot or Reboot is listed with a different value than its
current value, a warning is issued but the checking does not fail.
Additionally, warnings are issued if Filename contains unknown stanzas, or unknown tunables in a known stanza. However, that does
not make the checking fail.
Upon success, the AIX_level, Kernel_type and Last_validation fields in the info stanza of the checked file are updated.
Flags
Item
Description
-f Filename
Specifies the name of the tunable file to be checked. If it does not contain the '/' (forward slash) character, the name is
relative to /etc/tunables.
-p
Checks Filename in both current and boot contexts. This is equivalent to running tuncheck twice, one time without any flag
and one time with the -r flag.
-r
Checks Filename in a boot context.
If -p or -r are not specified, Filename is checked according to the current context.
