Operation
You can invoke the PXUTIL utility from a session or job. It requires SM
capability. It is breakable except for the period during which either
old database files are being purged or new ones are being saved.
The PXUTIL utility supports the following four commands:
* UPDATE
* HELP (H)
* QUIT (Q)
* EXIT (E)
Each of these commmands is explained on the following pages.
UPDATE
The UPDATE command provides a way of ensuring that your UID/GID databases
accurately reflect the current directory structure. You may need to
update the databases in response to particular error messages generated
by various commands that could not properly update the databases as
expected. UID/GIDs of existing users and accounts are preserved. If the
databases do not exist, they are created from scratch, with UID values
beginning at 100 and GID values also beginning at 100.
The UID database contains the following information:
login name User name.account name. For example, MGR.SYS
uid Integer initially allocated sequentially for each
user.
Initial working Home group. For example, /SYS/PUB.
directory
Initial program to HFS form of the command interpreter (CI.PUB.SYS),
use as a shell which is:
/SYS/PUB/CI.
The GID database contains the following information:
group name Group name. For example, SYS.
gid Integer initially allocated sequentially for each
group.
QUIT
Exits the utility.
EXIT
Exits the utility.
HELP
Displays the PXUTIL utility commands.
