nislog(1M)




NAME

     nislog - display the contents of the NIS+ transaction log


SYNOPSIS

     /usr/sbin/nislog [-h num | -t num]  [-v] [directory...]


DESCRIPTION

     nislog displays the contents of the NIS+ server  transaction
     log  on  the  standard  output.  This command can be used to
     track changes in the namespace. The /var/nis/trans.log  file
     contains  the transaction log maintained by the NIS+ server.
     When updates occur, they are logged to this  file  and  then
     propagated to replicas as log transactions.  When the log is
     checkpointed, updates  that  have  been  propagated  to  the
     replicas are removed.

     The nislog command can only be run  on  an  NIS+  server  by
     superuser. It displays the log entries for that server only.

     If directory is not specified, the entire log  is  searched.
     Otherwise,  only  those  logs entries that correspond to the
     specified directories are displayed.


OPTIONS

     -h num
           Display num transactions from the ``head'' of the log.
           If the numeric parameter is  0, only the log header is
           displayed.

     -t num
           Display  num transactions from  the  ``tail''  of  the
           log.  If  the  numeric  parameter  is  0, only the log
           header is displayed.

     -v    Verbose mode.
