 UPDATEHOME 8 "Jul 20, 2007"
 NAME
updatehome - update the home directory copy and link files for the current
label
 SYNOPSIS

/usr/bin/updatehome [-cirs]


 DESCRIPTION

updatehome reads the user's minimum-label copy and link-control files
(.copy_files and .link_files). These files contain a list of
files to be copied and symbolically linked from the user's minimum-label home
directory to the user's home directory at the current label.

The Solaris Trusted Extensions dtsession program performs an
updatehome whenever a newly labeled workspace is created so that the
user's favorite files are available for use. For example, the user probably
wants a symbolic link to such files as .profile, .login,
.cshrc, .exrc, .mailrc, and ~/bin. The
updatehome command provides a convenient mechanism for accomplishing this
symlink. The user can add files to those to be copied (.copy_files) and
to those to be symbolically linked (.link_files).
 OPTIONS
-c

Replace existing home-directory copies at the current label. The default is to
skip over existing copies.


-i

Ignore errors encountered. The default aborts on error.


-r

Replace existing home-directory copies or symbolic links at the current label.
This option implies options -c and -s. The default is to skip over
existing copies or symbolic links.


-s

Replace existing home-directory symbolic links at the current label. The
default is to skip over existing symbolic links.


 EXIT STATUS

Upon success, updatehome returns 0. Upon failure, updatehome
returns 1 and writes diagnostic messages to standard error.
 EXAMPLES

Example 1 A Sample .copy_files File

The files that are listed in .copy_files can be modified at every
user's label.

.cshrc
.mailrc
.mozilla/bookmarks.html


Example 2 A Sample .link_files File

The files that are listed in .link_files can be modified at the lowest
label. The changes propagate to the other labels that are available to the
user.

~/bin
.mozilla/preferences
.xrc
.rhosts


Example 3 Updating the Linked and Copied Files

The .copy_files and .link_files were updated by the user at the
minimum label. At a higher label, the user refreshes the copies and the links.
No privileges are required to run the command.

% updatehome -r
