Syntax

            gwcheckt options_file [--dump]

Description

Text-Based GroupWise Check (GWCheckT) is a tool provided for GroupWise to check and repair GroupWise user, message, library, and resource databases without needing the GroupWise Admin console or any GUI environment. Text-Based GWCheckT can perform all of the same types of database repair as the GUI GWCheck, but in a text-only environment.

Text-Based GWCheckT has no user interface. You must create the required options file by using the GUI GroupWise Check (GWCheck), or by using the Mailbox/Library Maintenance feature in the Admin console.

To create the required options file, start the GUI GWCheck in an environment where the X Window System is available, select database repair options as needed, then click Save. By default, the options file is named gwcheck.opt and is saved in your home folder. You can change the file name and location as needed.

Options

Usage Options:

[/path_name/]options_file: Specifies the name of the options file. By default, this file is saved by the GUI GWCheck in your home folder. If you saved it to another folder, specify a path relative to your home folder or specify an absolute path.
--dump: Displays the contents of the options file so that you can see what database repair options have been selected.

Help Options:

--help , -?: Displays the help information and exits.

Files

options_file: (Required) Use the GUI GWCheck to select and save database repair options in the gwcheck.opt file, then run the Text-Based GWCheckT with the options file to execute the database repair options.

Examples

This program normally runs as root.

/opt/novell/groupwise/gwcheck/bin/gwcheckt gwcheck.opt: Runs GWCheckT in a text only environment, based on the database repair options provided in the options file created in the GUI GWCheck.
/opt/novell/groupwise/gwcheck/bin/gwcheckt gwcheck.opt --dump: Lists the settings of the database repair options in the specified options file.
