rtsnapshot - collect some snapshot data from an Antelope real time system
rtsnapshot [-c] [-d #db-rows]
[-f filename] [-l #log-lines]
[-p re] [-vw] [dir]
rtsnapshot creates a compressed tar file containing some configuration
and log information from a running system. Its purpose is to provide
a standard set of auxiliary information which might be useful for
diagnosing a problem. This tar file can be sent to BRTT as
an attachment to email. Note that the output of rtsnapshot by itself
does not constitute an adequate bug report. See bugs(5).
Normally, rtsnapshot is run from the directory where rtexec.pf resides;
alternatively that directory may be specified on the command line.
Accompanying email should describe the problem in as much detail
as possible. If there is any standard way to reproduce the problem,
this could be very helpful.
-
-c
Package up any core files also. Normally, these are skipped to keep
the total size reasonable.
-
-d #db-rows
specify the maximum number of rows from each database table -- default is
1000.
-
-f filename
specify the output filename for the snapshot
-
-l #log-lines
specify the maximum number of rows from each log file -- default is
100.
-
-p re
collect 200 packets matching the regular expression re
-
-v
Be more verbose.
-
-w
Include a few minutes of waveforms from the tail end of the current
database.
rtsnapshot temporarily creates a directory rt-date in /var/tmp.

Please mail rt-Monday_April_26_22.42.04.tar.gz as an attachment \
to support@brtt.com.
Probably omits the really crucial file.
Do not send problem reports to individual email addresses at
BRTT: they will not be answered. To receive a response, only
use support@brtt.com. Requests sent to support@brtt.com
are read by multiple people and will be responded to in a timely manner.
