NETMAIN_CHKLOG (CHECK_NETMAIN_LOGS) -- Search for/delete corrupt log files.
usage:  NETMAIN_CHKLOG pathname... [-D | -ND] [-L | -NL] {CL}


FORMAT

  NETMAIN_CHKLOG pathname... [options]


  When  the  NETMAIN_SRVR program halts catastrophically (for instance, during a
  node reset), it can leave the log file it was writing in a  corrupt,  unusable
  state.  NETMAIN_CHKLOG  determines whether the log is corrupt and, optionally,
  deletes corrupt files.

  If the pathname you specify points to some kind of file other than  a  NETMAIN
  log  file,  that file will almost always be ignored -- it will almost never be
  deleted as a corrupt log.  On very rare occasions, another kind  of  file  may
  look  so  much like a corrupt log that it might be deleted accidentally if you
  use both then -D and the standard command option  -NQ  (no  query).  Thus  you
  should use -D -NQ with extreme care.


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (required)          Specify  the  files  to  be  checked.   Multiple names and
                     wildcarding are permitted; separate names with blanks.


OPTIONS

  Default options are indicated by "(D)."

  -D                 Delete corrupt log files.

  -ND          (D)   Do NOT delete anything.

  -L           (D)   Describe every file analyzed.

  -NL                Describe only corrupt log files.

  This command uses the command line parser, and so also  accepts  the  standard
  command options listed in HELP CL.


EXAMPLES

    $ netmain_chklog `node_data/net_log/?*
