NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     diagsetup - control the contents of the diag user's running of cached and
     onlinediag

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     diagsetup -x "cached <options>" [-h | -d hour | -w	wkday |
	  -m monthday |	-n] [-t	hour]
     diagsetup -x "onlinediag <options>" [-h | -d hour | -w wkday
	  | -m monthday	| -n] [-t hour]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     diagsetup controls	the running of cached and onlinediag by	the diag user.
     This command can be used to either	turn off the running of	these
     diagnostic	tests or to make them run more frequently or less frequently
     then they do by default.

     The -x cached <options> | onlinediag <options> parameter indicates	which
     diagnostic	testing	program	we are modifying the behavior of.  We can
     modify the	frequency of running one of these programs.  The -x parameter
     must be present for this program to run.

     The -h parameter indicates	that the given program will be run once	an
     hour on the hour.	This parameter is the default for the cached
     diagnostic	program.

     The -d hour parameter indicates that the given program will be run	once a
     day on the	given hour.  This parameter with the "0" hour is the default
     for the onlinediag	diagnostic program.

     The -w weekday parameter indicates	that the given program will be run
     once a week on the	given day of the week.

     The -m monthday parameter indicates that the given	program	will be	run
     once a month on the given day of the month.

     The -n parameter indicates	that the given program should never be run.
     It	turns off the periodic testing until someone turns it back on.

     The -t hour parameter indicates the hour on a given day of	the month or
     day of a week (used with the -w or	-m parameters) that the	program	should
     be	run.  If this is not specified,	the default is the "0" hour
     (midnight).

OVERVIEW    [Toc]    [Back]

     diagsetup modifies	the crontab file of the	diag user.  The	diag user is
     in	charge of running of the cached	and onlinediag programs	that run
     sanity checks during run time.  Because the diag user has the same	user
     id	as the root user, the diagnostic tests run with	root permissions.
     However, this means the crontab file of the diag user cannot be modified
     using the crontab command (it will	try to modify the root crontab

     instead).	diagsetup can be used to easily	modify the diag	user's crontab
     file.  If the diag	crontab	file is	modified directly, diagsetup may no
     longer run	correctly.

     diagsetup overwrites the crontab file of the diag user every time that it
     runs and also sends a SIGHUP to cron so that it will process the new
     crontab file.
