The PMDF DIRSYNC/DIRBOT utility can be used to run a SYNC_DIRBOT channel. If no qualifiers are specified, this is equivalent to $ @PMDF_COM:MASTER SYNC_DIRBOT Special qualifiers can be used to override the normal operation of the channel. Using the /LEFTOVERS qualifier forces the DIRBOT to use any .OLD LDIF files for directories that do not currently have new LDIF files present. When a directory update is forced with the /LEFTOVERS switches, and no cookie is available to send back to a directory, the cookie value "biscuit" is used. The various sync_ xxx_master channels know about this value and will accept the update. The /UPDATE or /NOUPDATE qualifier can be used to control just which directories will be sent the results of the DIRBOT processing.
