.../bin This directory holds the system binaries. Generally, copies of the directly executable stuff (e.g., ingres, printr, etc.) are here, plus a set of programs that are only used internally (ksort, monitor, etc.). It is CRITICAL that file modes are correct in this directory. Here is an "ls -l" from our system. Note: you may not have all of these programs, since some may not be applicable to your release. The truly critical programs are marked with an asterisk. The ones that should be installed in user-available directories are marked with a plus. -rws--x--x . . . . alldbu The database utilities, not used in normal VAX configuration. -rwxr-xr-x . . . . checkid Checks for all SCCS id's properly expanded. For system gurus only. -rwsr-x--x . . . . creatdb+ The "create database" utility. -rws--x--x . . . . decomp Query optimization & execution, not used in normal VAX configurations. -rwxr-xr-x . . . . demodb+ Creates a database & fills it with some demo relations. -rwsr-x--x . . . . destroydb+ Destroys a database. -rwxr-xr-x . . . . equel+ Precompiles an EQUEL program. -rwxr-xr-x . . . . findtTf Discovers trace flags. Used by system maintainers. -rwsr-x--x . . . . helpr+ Standalone "help" facility. -rwsr-x--x . . . . ingres+ The INGRES driver -- this is how you normally execute the system. -rwsr-x--x . . . . ingresx Typically a link to INGRES, this defaults to a different process table. It is used to make life easier for system maintainers. -rwsr----- . . . . ksort* Used internally to sort relations. -rwxr-x--x . . . . monitor* The terminal monitor, i.e., the program you talk to when you are running INGRES. -rws--x--x . . . . parser The parser module; not used in a normal VAX configuration. -rwsr-x--x . . . . printadmin Prints the admin file for a database, used by system maintainers. -rwsr-x--x . . . . printr+ Standalone "print" facility. -rwsr-x--x . . . . purge+ Purges cruft out of the database. -rws--x--x . . . . qrymod The query modification module; not used in normal VAX configurations. -rwsr-x--x . . . . restore+ Restore the database after a crash. -rwsr----- . . . . sysdump Dumps the state of the world. This can be configured into INGRES for use by system maintainers. -rwsr-x--x . . . . sysmod+ Modifies your data dictionaries to reasonable formats. This should be run regularly on active databases. -rwx------ . . . . usersetup Used once to initialize the users files. See the READ_ME files in .../files. -rwsr----- . . . . vaxingres* The internal module that "ingres" calls to implement INGRES. This is essentially the sum of parser, qrymod, decomp, and alldbu.
