    Syntax

    Command Qualifiers             Defaults

    /LEFTOVERS                     See text
    /NOUPDATE=dirlist              See text
    /UPDATE=dirlist                See text

1  –  Parameters

    None.

2  –  Description

    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.

3  –  Command Qualifiers

3.1    /LEFTOVERS

    Use of the /LEFTOVERS qualifiers causes the DIRBOT to use .OLD
    LDIF files for any directories that do not presently have
    new LDIF files present. That is, specifying /LEFTOVERS is
    equivalent to having BEST_WITHIN set to an infinite time for
    every directory.

3.2    /UPDATE

       /UPDATE=dirlist
       /NOUPDATE=dirlist

    By default, if neither /UPDATE nor /NOUPDATE is specified,
    the DIRBOT sends its updates resulting from processing as
    normal, as specified in its option file. Use of /UPDATE or
    /NOUPDATE can be used to override the normal handling. Specifying
    /UPDATE=(dir1,dir2,...) will cause the updates to be sent only
    to the specified list of directories dir1,dir2,.... Specifying
    /NOUPDATE=(dir1,dir2,...) will cause the updates to be sent
    to all directories except the specified list of directories
    dir1,dir2,....
