Prior to the system being configured, there are two maintenance options that may used with
the dbfree command.
The format is dbfree [-cf].
The c option is used to check for cleared free blocks. The f option is used to “unclear”
cleared free blocks.
dblines
dblines [b | c | f | n | q | s | v |+S|-S|-O] <pathname>
Checks the database for story errors.
n
The dblines program normally will not fix script related errors; if you want to do so, the +S
option must be specified and the n option must not be specified.
Use this command weekly as part of normal database maintenance. Start dblines before you
go home and run it in the background. Including a period with the command checks the
entire database.
