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/hostname.log ﬁle contains the transac-

tion log maintained by the NIS+ server. hostname is the string returned by uname -n. 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 log entries that correspond to

the speciﬁed directories are displayed.

Options

-h [num]Displaynum transactions from the ‘‘head’’ of the log. If the numeric parameter is omitted, it is

assumed to be

1. If the numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is displayed.

-t [num]Displaynum transactions from the ‘‘tail’’ of the log. If the numeric parameter is omitted, it is

assumed to be 1. If the numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is displayed.

-v Verbose mode.
