defragcron - Schedules AdvFS file domains for defragmenting
/usr/sbin/defragcron [-p] [-q] [-t nnn] [-b hh:mm] [-a
hh:mm] [-l pathname] [domain...]
/usr/sbin/defragcron [-p] [-q] [-t nnn] [-T mm] [-l pathname]
[domain...]
Specifies that the domains are to be defragmented in parallel.
If not specified, the default is to serially
defragment the domains. Suppress informational messages.
If not specified, the default is to produce informational
messages. Specifies the aggregate I/O performance threshold,
the point at which the domain should be defragmented.
A number from 1-100. If not specified, the default is to
always defragment the domain.
The performance threshold is based on the value
returned by the defragment -nv command. If this
value is lower than or equal to the value specified
here, the domain is defragmented. If specified,
the utility will not run before this time and will
return an error if the time is not yet reached.
Specify time values using the 24-hour clock. If
not specified, the default time is 01:00. If specified,
the utility will not run after this time,
and will return an error if the time has been
passed. Specify time values using the 24-hour
clock. If not specified, the default time is
05:00. Specifies an exact time interval, in minutes,
for the defragment utility to run. If not
specified, there is no default.
If you use this option, its action overrides the
before and after time checking of the -a and -b
options. Specify the -l option to direct messages
to log files in the specified directory. One log
file is generated for nonspecific messages and separate
log files are generated for each domain that
is defragmented.
If the option is not specified, the default action
is to not produce log files for the messages (which
then are directed to the standard output device).
If the option is specified, you also must specify a
pathname for the directory into which the log files
are to be written. The default directory, as specified
in the root crontab entry, is
/usr/var/defragcron/.
The names of the log files have the following format:
domain1.log, domain2.log, ..., and so on, one
file for each active domain, plus a file,
defragcron.log for the nonspecific messages. If you
have named a domain defragcron, messages for that
domain are written to the nonspecific messages in
the defragcron.log file.
Specifies one or more AdvFS file domains. If no domains
are specified, the default action is for the utility to
defragment all active AdvFS file domains.
The defragcron utility runs the defragment utility to a
schedule that you specify on all active AdvFS file domains
or on the active domains you specify.
The typical use of this utility is to run it as a command
in the cron daemon. See cron(8).
Unless the domain is listed in the comand line, the utility
does not attempt to defragment inactive file domains
(those which have no mounted filesets). It can try to
defragment file domains that have some mounted and some
unmounted filesets. In this case, the utility fails.
You must have root user privileges to run this utility.
All restrictions for the defragment utility are in effect
for the defragcron utility.
The utility returns a 0 (zero) on success. Otherwise, it
returns a 1 and an error diagnostic.
The following example defragments all active domains that
have an aggregate I/O performance threshold less than or
equal to 60 for an interval of 240 minutes: #
/usr/sbin/defragcon -q -t 60 -T 240
The command's path. The path of the defragment utility.
Commands: crontab(1), cron(8), defragment(8)
