NAME

rtsnapshot - collect some snapshot data from an Antelope real time system

SYNOPSIS

rtsnapshot [-c] [-d #db-rows]
	      [-f filename] [-l #log-lines]
	      [-p re] [-vw] [dir]

DESCRIPTION

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.

OPTIONS

FILES

rtsnapshot temporarily creates a directory rt-date in /var/tmp.

EXAMPLE


% rtsnapshot

Please mail rt-Monday_April_26_22.42.04.tar.gz as an attachment \
    to support@brtt.com.

BUGS AND CAVEATS

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.
