You must be in superuser mode at the console to use the ctraits command. For instance:
NRCS# ctraits WNWS suffix AB +m +o +i
dbclean
dbclean [-x] <directory name>
When starting up after a power failure, use dbclean to remove any edit or order locks in the
database. Run the command before startup or log everyone off the system by typing
logout all before issuing this command.
The most common usage of dbclean scans all queues except those marked with the skip flag.
To use this command, after logging out all the users, type:
NRCS-A$ logout all
NRCS-A$ dbclean -x .
dbclose
dbclose
Closes the database.
c
If you use this command while users are active, changes to stories will be lost.
Option or Flag Description
suffix <list> The required suffix option defines the order in which the local system will
contact the remote system's servers. The list is the combination of ABCD in
the preferred order. For instance:
ctraits suffix BA
would first contact the
remote system's B server, and then the A if B was unreachable.
group <group> (Optional) Defines the list of users who are permitted to access the remote
system when connected to the local system. Superusers on the local system
will see all available Community members, regardless of group definitions.
remove (no value) Remove a system from a Community. For example, type
ctraits WNWS
remove
to remove WNWS from WAVD’s Community.
+m | -m This flag is required to allow messaging to the target server.
+o | -o This flag is required to allow outgoing connections to the target server. All +o
systems appear in the Directory panel for permitted users.
+i | -i This flag is required to allow incoming connections from the target server.
