Hi
I have program flush in /usr/local/bin and i don't know what is it
maybe something like sync command ?
please advice and thanks


JK

could be anything. i.e written bespoke...



file /usr/local/bin/flush



if its a script.. then view it



if its a binary then



what /usr/local/bin/flush

strings /usr/local/bin/flush



it may have a help text



flush --help #(gnu format)

flush -h

flush -? #(aix format)



hope this helps

Mark

it's a binary program

i think it may be a command that forces the cache to be flushed ? (man -k
flush)
any idea ?

Have you tried lslpp -w /usr/local/bin/flush
(Maybe it's part of some installation package)

As Mark said, try 'flush -help' and see if there is any help text or
'strings flush'

You could try 'lslpp -w $(whence flush)' to see which fileset it
belongs to.

Steve

if its a binary, then what is the output from



what /usr/local/bin/flush ?



or look at the Loader Symbol Table Information for clues



dump -T flush



You could even use the watch command or kernel trace it.... or if you
are running 5L use truss....



so many options.....
