Usage Boot Info Script: | |
----------------------- | |
Run the script as sudoer: | |
sudo /usr/sbin/bootinfoscript <outputfile> | |
or if your operating system does not use sudo: | |
su - | |
/usr/sbin/bootinfoscript <outputfile> | |
When running the script, without specifying an output file, all the output | |
is written to the file "RESULTS.txt" in the same folder as the script. | |
But when run from /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, or another system folder, the file | |
"RESULTS.txt" is written to the home directory of the user. | |
When the file "RESULTS.txt" already exists, the results will be written to | |
"RESULTS1.txt". If "RESULTS1.txt" exists, the results will be written to | |
"RESULTS2.txt", ... | |
To get version number, release date, last git commit and git retrieval date | |
of this script, use (no root rights needed): | |
/usr/sbin/bootinfoscript -v | |
/usr/sbin/bootinfoscript -V | |
/usr/sbin/bootinfoscript --version | |
To get this help text, use (no root rights needed): | |
/usr/sbin/bootinfoscript -h | |
/usr/sbin/bootinfoscript -help | |
/usr/sbin/bootinfoscript --help | |
To automatically gzip a copy of the output file, use (root rights needed): | |
/usr/sbin/bootinfoscript -g <outputfile> | |
/usr/sbin/bootinfoscript --gzip <outputfile> | |
To write the output to stdout instead of a file, use (root rights needed): | |
/usr/sbin/bootinfoscript --stdout | |
The last development version of Boot Info Script can be downloaded, with: | |
(no root rights needed) | |
/usr/sbin/bootinfoscript --update <filename> | |
If no filename is specified, the file will be saved in the home dir as | |
"bootinfoscript_YYYY-MM-DD_hh:mm:ss". | |
If multiple versions of Boot Info Script are detected in the same directory, | |
Boot Info Script will list all versions found. | |
In that case you need to force Boot Info Script to run a certain version, | |
by adding "--this" as first argument (root rights needed): | |
/usr/sbin/bootinfoscript --this <outputfile> | |
