nislog(1M)		System Administration Commands		    nislog(1M)

NAME
       nislog - display the contents of the NIS+ transaction log

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/nislog [-h num | -t num] [-v] [directory]...

DESCRIPTION
       nislog  displays the contents of the NIS+ server transaction log on the
       standard output. This command can be  used  to  track  changes  in  the
       namespace.  The	/var/nis/trans.log  file  contains the transaction log
       maintained by the NIS+ server. When updates occur, they are  logged  to
       this  file  and	then propagated to replicas as log transactions.  When
       the log is checkpointed, updates	 that  have  been  propagated  to  the
       replicas are removed.

       The  nislog  command can only be run on an NIS+ server by superuser. It
       displays the log entries for that server only.

       If directory is not specified, the entire log is	 searched.  Otherwise,
       only  those  logs  entries that correspond to the specified directories
       are displayed.

OPTIONS
       -h num	 Display num transactions from the ``head'' of the log. If the
		 numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is displayed.

       -t num	 Display num transactions from the ``tail'' of the log. If the
		 numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is displayed.

       -v	 Verbose mode.

FILES
       /var/nis/trans.log    transaction log
