HP UX Identity Security Software manual Finding and executing command-line scripts, Saveconfig

7 Command-line scripts

This chapter provides information on the scripts for managing the HP-UX Directory Server, such as backing-up and restoring the database. Scripts are a shortcut way of executing the ns-slapdinterface commands that are documented in Appendix A “Using the ns-slapdcommand-line utilities”.

7.1 Finding and executing command-line scripts

Most scripts are located in the /opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_namedirectory, though a few are located in the /opt/dirsrv/bin directory. The exact locations are listed in “Command-line scripts quick reference”.

When scripts request either a directory name or a file name, always provide the absolute path. The scripts assume the dse.ldif file is located in the /etc/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_namedirectory.

7.2 Command-line scripts quick reference

The following shell and Perl scripts are located in the /opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_namedirectory.
