It contains saved version of these files from this patch. This directory can be removed. ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Custom directory refers to custom data defined by its parameter file. This requires two new directories defined by the Custom/conf/qStatus.conf file. This update will created as place holders a data_custom and a data_custom_baseline with no demo data. To review the functions of the Custom directory, it may be more advisable to download the q-Status version with demo data. Hence the examples in custom directory will not function when installed with the patch process unless custom data is provided. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for using q-Status.

[root@utility01 html]# ls conf index.html LICENSES q-statusLinux5.40Update10_patch.zip q-statusSolaris q-statusWindows Images KICKSTART q-statusLinux qstatus.repository q-statusView SAVE_FILES_DIR [root@utility01 html]# Configuration files from your old version are save when overwritten by the patch in the "SAVE_FILES_DIR" created by the running the patch. The patch update process return files to their original release state and in some cases the patch may make structure changes to the file. You can copy files from or collect parameters as required to restore your system. Tricks and Suggestions Because the patch updates only affect file that the q-Status™ program installed, a common trick is to create copies of these file in the directives where the file might be overwritten. For example, this what is contained in the [root@utility01 bin_updates]# ls DATADIR list_configs.sh qstatusANTput.xml SSHput.sh FTPxfr_disks.sh list_web_configs.sh qstatusANTxfr.properties TEMPLATE.send_message.recipient.txt FTPxfr_parameters.txt PARAMETERS_LOC qstatusANTxfr.properties.LQW VERSION FTPxfr.sh qstatusANTput_disks.sh QSTATUS_PARAMETER list_configs_disks.sh qstatusANTput_disks.xml SSHput_disks.sh list_configs_extract.sh qstatusANTput.sh SSHput_parameters.txt [root@utility01 bin_updates]# Note the file "qstatusANTxfr.properties.LQW" which is easily copied to the back to "qstatusANTxfr.properties" which restore the encrypted password that was overwritten. Other directories to create local copies of the parameter files would be any of the conf directories such as the "q-statusLinux/qAlert/conf" directory Or by phone: LogiQwest, Inc. 16458 Bolsa Chica Street #15 Huntington Beach, CA 92649 USA Telephone 714-883-1949 Cell Phone: 714-883-1949 (text) Email:mbarto@logiQwest.com
