undocumented(M)

undocumented -- programs not documented elsewhere in these manuals

Description

Several programs distributed with SCO OpenServer are not fully documented. In general, these programs fall into two categories: programs retained to provide compatibility with earlier versions of SCO OpenServer, and programs intended for execution by other programs, which are rarely of interest to the end user.

This page lists undocumented programs, together with brief notes on their functionality and relevance. Note that this list is likely to change with future releases of SCO OpenServer. We strongly recommend that you make no attempt to use or remove programs on this list; doing so may interfere with the functionality of other programs.

Undocumented but useful programs are as follows:


cleanup
Shell script occasionally run by the root crontab file to clean up log files.

checkeq
Macro equation checker.

ibmlpopt
Used by the print service; displays lp(C) options specific to the IBM ProPrinter.

menu_add
Link to /bin/true.

menu_del
Link to /bin/true.

message
Used by installpkg(ADM), displaypkg(ADM), and removepkg(ADM).

mt
Lists the drive model number of the (obsolete) Intel tape drive.

pwdmenu
Used by backup(ADM).

utmp_getty
Provided for mscreen(M) support.
