FREEZE DISKFILE Command
and auditing. All subsequent accesses to the diskfiles are subject to standard
Guardian disk-file security checks.
When the Safeguard software deletes a diskfile pattern authorization record, the
security-string for the files not protected by Safeguard are reset to the original
value. (That is, the files receive the security it had before being added to
Safeguard protection.)
Examples
1. To delete the diskfile pattern $ABC.*.*:
DELETE DISKFILE-PATTERN $ABC.*.*
2. To delete all diskfile patterns that match the search pattern $ABC.*.*:
DELETE DISKFILE-PATTERN $ABC.*.*, ALL
3. To delete all diskfile patterns that match the search pattern $AB*.D*.*F
DELETE DISKFILE-PATTERN $AB*.D*.*F, ALL
FREEZE DISKFILE Command
FREEZE DISKFILE temporarily suspends the access authorities granted to users on a
disk-file ACL. While a disk file is frozen, only the file owner, an owner on the ACL, the
primary owner’s group manager, and the local super ID can access the file. Any other
users get a security violation error (file error 48).
An owner of a disk file, the primary owner’s group manager, and the super ID can
freeze a disk file.
Use THAW DISKFILE to restore all the access authorities that were in effect before the
file was frozen.
DISKFILE
specifies DISKFILE as the object type of the FREEZE command. Omit it if
DISKFILE is the assumed object type. (For more information on assumed object
types, see the
ASSUME Command on page 4-3.)
filename-list
specifies the disk file or files for which access is to be frozen. filename-list
can be either:
disk-file-name
( disk-file-name [ , disk-file-name ] ... )
FREEZE DISKFILE filename-list [ [ , ] WHERE option-list ]
