International Code Set Support

Ignite-UX uses a variety of system commands to accomplish its functionality. Because the output of many

of these commands is parsed, Ignite-UX ensures that the POSIX locale is normally used by modifying envi-

ronment variables. Help text and some command output not parsed by Ignite-UX will be left in the user’s

speciﬁed locale.

EXAMPLES

Use all of the built-in defaults, and create a gzip compressed tar archive named hostname.gz on the

Ignite-UX server in directory /var/tmp with all identity information removed. This assumes the server

has a .rhosts entry for the local system:

post_config_script+="make_sys_image"

Create a gzip compressed tar archive with all of the identity information intact and dd to local tape:

post_config_script+="make_sys_image -s local -l 1 -d /dev/rmt/0m"

Extract into /var/tmp a gzip’d tar archive from tape:

cd /var/tmp

dd ibs=10k if=/dev/rmt/0m of=archive.gz

Note: Replace 10k with 5k for cpio archives. Replace .gz with .Z for compress’d

archives.

Create a local archive resetting /etc/motd and /etc/issue to newconfig state along with the

level 2 default resets and ignore only the directory /data_area and ﬁles or directories beginning with "n" or

"a" in /opt/apps.

Copy /opt/ignite/data/scripts/make_sys_image from an Ignite-UX server to /tmp on

the archive system:

/tmp/make_sys_image -s local -d /var/tmp -f /tmp/speciﬁc_ﬁles

Contents of /tmp/speciﬁc_ﬁles:

# Files to be reset to newconﬁg state

# in addition to the defaults. Note use of upper case.

+ RESET

/etc/motd

/etc/issue

# Files to be excluded from the archive,

# override the defaults. Note use of upper case.

+ ONLY NO_ARCHIVE

/data_area

/opt/apps/[na]*

Generate a list of ﬁles that will be reset or ignored including those speciﬁed in /tmp/speciﬁc_ﬁles:

/tmp/make_sys_image -s local -x -f /tmp/speciﬁc_ﬁles

Create a compress compressed cpio archive to a remote system other than the Ignite-UX server, and
