OSF DCE Administration Guide--Introduction

Overview of the dce_conﬁg Script

6.3.4 Detail Messages

Detail messages show all actual commands that affect the conﬁguration or the state of

the machine being conﬁgured. The messages also show which dce_conﬁg component

script executed the command. Detail messages that contain the word "Executing"

provide a record of the exact commands used to conﬁgure a machine. Detail messages

have the form:

D: message text

A sample detail message follows:

D: dfs.clean: Executing: /opt/dcelocal/bin/bos stop -server

/.:/hosts/antoine -process bakserver -wait >/dev/null 2>&1

6.3.5 Verbose Messages

Verbose messages are a summary of actions being taken by dce_conﬁg and the user.

The messages show dce_conﬁg prompts and user responses, and all actual commands

executed by dce_conﬁg and the subcomponent script that executed them. They provide

a complete record of the user entries. Verbose messages have the form:

V: message text

Some sample verbose messages follow:

V: dfs.rm: Removing files created by DFS daemons on initial

configuration.

V: User query: Do you wish to first remove all remnants of previous DCE

configurations for all components (y/n)? You should do so only if

you plan on re-configuring all existing DCE components now: (n)

V: User entry: y

6.3.6 Debug Messages

Debug messages show actual commands executed by dce_conﬁg and the component

scripts that committed them. If a command does not execute successfully, the

command’s error message text is passed for display to dce_conﬁg. Do not confuse this

error text with dce_conﬁg errors. Only dce_conﬁg error and warning messages indicate

a dce_conﬁg error.
