sffprimary Show if a system is up or down or primary or secondary ALL parameters must be specified with a space separating the switch and data. (eg -d edsysSender) Do not concatenate switches (ie -Vd... will NOT work) sffprimary default with no other parameters shows all Destinations for the system where you are running sffprimary return code is the number of valid entries displayed sffprimary (hostname) shows all Destinations for that Host sffprimary -d (PseudoHost Name) -d : return '0' if this is the Primary for this PseudoHost or '1' if NOT or '-1' if the PseudoHost is NOT found (ie Destination in DEST_REDUN) The display and return code are the same except the return code is binary eg sffprimary -d editorialwires sffprimary -D (PseudoHost Name) -D : return hostname of current system for this PseudoHost (ie Destination in DEST_REDUN) returns 'fip3' or blank if no-such-hostname The return code is -1= no-such-host or 1 host is fine sffprimary -D editorialwires sffprimary -a -a : just show the DEST_REDUN file on that system (including all comments) -A : just show the DEST_REDUN file currently in use on that system (just the valid entries) Others -h : second hostname for dual addressed systems -n : do not add a newline on the end of the line -N : only return the exit code NOT a display variable (for -d or -D only) -V : display internal workings for -d and -D -v : version and exit Normally we add a NewLine After the string, use the '-n' input switch to strip.
