OPERATIONAL FILES

While the CyberSWITCH is running, it collects system statistics and logs system messages. The system maintains these statistics and messages in two separate memory-resident tables. The ten most recent versions of each table are available on the system disk.

You can retrieve and view the current memory-resident tables at any time by using the following console commands:

dr This command will display system messages.

ds This command will display system statistics.

You can write the tables to disk by using the following commands:

wr This command will write the current system messages to disk.

ws This command will write the current system statistics to disk.

Note: When the system is shut down, the tables are automatically written to disk.
