Monitor and Shell Commands
Monitor: Using Monitor Commands
Chapter 5

• bootpath
displays the device from which the vPars Monitor (/stand/vpmon) was booted
Example:
MON>bootpath
disk(0.0.2.0.6.0)
• reboot [mode]
reboots the entire hard partition. Other hard partitions are not affected.
mode sets the mode for the next reboot and has the value of either nPars or vPars. This is applicable on
only Integrity systems.
NOTE You should shut down each virtual partition (using the Unix shutdown command) prior to
executing the Monitor reboot command. A confirmation prompt is provided, but if you
accept confirmation of the reboot while any virtual partitions are running, the reboot
brings the running partitions down ungracefully. For more information, see “Boot||Shut:
Shutting Down or Rebooting the nPartition (OR Rebooting the vPars Monitor)” on
page 132.
Displaying Information
• cat filename [openonly]
displays the contents of filename. When openonly is specified, this command only prints "open
succeeded" if the Monitor was able to open the filename. This command is similar to the Unix cat
command.
filename must be a text file on an HFS file system.
/stand is the default directory
Example:
To display the file /stand/notes.txt
MON> cat notes.txt
