Friedman OSF/UNIX SDE" To: [email protected] CC: odehelp@DEC:.zko.flambe Subj: Re: Un-Defuncting Files Paul, You need to do the following: In rcs as devrcs or root in the rcs pool, change the state back from Defunct to Exp (experimental, normal rcs state) (see 'man rcs') rcs -sExp:<defuncted-revision-or-branch-name> <filename> Then you need to remove the file from DEFUNCT. The new submit will put it back in SNAPSHOT. The "clean" way to remove from DEFUNCT is to do the following, as yourself, from a normal user sandbox, assuming you're in the sadmin.acl file: sadmin -edit defunct Edit out the file and save. If you also did want to edit the SNAPSHOT file, you should do sadmin -edit snap This ensures that a lock is taken out during the edit to avoid interference with submits in progress. (From odeman sadmin:) -edit hold \| log \| snap \| defunct Edits one of the four bsubmit files: bsubmit.hold, bsubmit.log, SNAPSHOT, or DEFUNCT. The file is first copied into the current work- ing directory under its real name (i.e., bsubmit.hold, bsubmit.log, SNAPSHOT, or DEFUNCT). This is done because these files are not writ- able as mounted. If a file by that name already exists in the current directory, sadmin will not overwrite it. You then edit the local copy of the file. After exiting the editing session, the file is transferred over the network and the original file is overwritten. -josh

Paul, You need to do the following: 	

In rcs as devrcs or root in the rcs pool, change the state back from
Defunct to Exp (experimental, normal rcs state)  (see 'man rcs')

	rcs -sExp:<defuncted-revision-or-branch-name> <filename>

Then you need to remove the file from DEFUNCT.  The new submit will put
it back in SNAPSHOT.

The "clean" way to remove from DEFUNCT is to do the following, as yourself,
from a normal user sandbox, assuming you're in the sadmin.acl file:

	sadmin -edit defunct

Edit out the file and save.

If you also did want to edit the SNAPSHOT file, you should do

	sadmin -edit snap

This ensures that a lock is taken out during the edit to avoid interference
with submits in progress.

(From odeman sadmin:)
  -edit   hold | log | snap | defunct
       Edits one of the four bsubmit files: bsubmit.hold, bsubmit.log,
       SNAPSHOT, or DEFUNCT.  The file is first copied into the current work-
       ing directory under its real name (i.e., bsubmit.hold, bsubmit.log,
       SNAPSHOT, or DEFUNCT).  This is done because these files are not writ-
       able as mounted.  If a file by that name already exists in the current
       directory, sadmin will not overwrite it.  You then edit the local copy
       of the file. After exiting the editing session, the file is
       transferred over the network and the original file is overwritten.
