  NAME

    ckbupscd - Checks file system backup schedule

  SYNOPSIS

    /etc/ckbupscd [-m]

  FLAGS

    -m   Suppresses an introductory message in the output so that only the
         file system lists are displayed.

  DESCRIPTION

    The ckbupscd command consults the file /etc/bupsched and displays the file
    system lists from lines with date and time specifications matching the
    current time.  Entries in the /etc/bupsched file are displayed under the
    control of cron.

    The System Administration commands bupsched/schedcheck are provided to
    review and edit the /etc/bupsched file.

    The file /etc/bupsched should contain lines of 4 or more fields, separated
    by spaces or tabs.  The first 3 fields (the schedule fields) specify a
    range of dates and times.  The rest of the fields constitute a list of
    names of file systems to be displayed if ckbupscd is run at some time
    within the range given by the schedule fields.  The general format is:

    time[,time] day[,day] month[,month] fsyslist

    where:

    time       Specifies an hour of the day (0 through 23), matching any time
               within that hour, or an exact time of day (0:00 through 23:59).

    day        Specifies a day of the week (sun through sat) or day of the
               month (1 through 31).

    month      Specifies the month in which the time and day fields are valid.
               Legal values are the month numbers (1 through 12).

    fsyslist   The rest of the line is taken to be a file system list to
               display.

    Multiple time, day, and month specifications may be separated by commas,
    in which case they are evaluated left to right.

    An asterisk (*) always matches the current value for that field.

    A line beginning with a pound sign (#) is interpreted as a comment and
