SYNCHRONIZE
KEEPB[ACKUPINFILE]
instructs AutoSYNC to retain the BACKUP and RESTORE input files. By 
default, these files are temporary and they are purged after the synchronization 
has completed.
This option is used for troubleshooting only. 
The name of the input file is in the format of ZBKnnnnn for BACKUP and 
ZRSnnnnn for RESTORE, where nnnnn is a serial number. The files are 
placed in the MapDB subvolume. The exact file name is displayed in the 
LOGFILE.
Input files are not created if no files require synchronization. For BACKUP, the 
input file is always created when files are synchronized. For RESTORE, the 
input file is created only when files are synchronized and the MAPNAMES 
option is specified.
For OSS file sets, the BACKUP input files is an entry-sequenced file that 
contains the names of the files and directories to be synchronized, in addition 
to internal file information.
KEEPS[ECURITY]
the Guardian security settings "rwep" of the source file are retained on the 
destination file.
KEEPSECURITY overrides the SECURE and NETWORKSECURE options. 
LISTA[LL]
includes all file names that are processed by BACKUP and RESTORE in the 
log.
LOGFILE log-filename [ CLEAR ]
the name of a file where AutoSYNC logs the outcome of the synchronization 
process.
If the file does not exist, AutoSYNC creates it. If this parameter is not specified, 
AutoSYNC logs its messages to a temporary file that is purged when the 
synchronization is completed.
If CLEAR is specified, the content of the log is purged prior to the 
synchronization.
OPENU[PDATE] [ n [ SECONDS | MINUTES | HOURS] ] 
specifies that a source file that is opened for update is eligible for 
synchronization. By default, AutoSYNC does not synchronize files that are 
opened for update. OPENUPDATE overrides the default behavior.
n [ SECONDS | MINUTES | HOURS ]
