Hi:

Essentially, no. Some help might be offered if the files in question were catalogsd in the IPD (Installed Product Database) as a consequence of being managed by 'swinstall'. THen:

# severify -F \*

...will offer information for those, only.

Regards!

Hi Prashant Wagh

I think you miss the question.

Someone deleted the files, and i want a list of all files including the deleted files before this happens.

I think this is not possivel, but never know ;)

Hi (again):

Sorry, a typo: the command should have been:

# swverify \*

Note the spelling correction. You also don't need the '-F' switch since there is nothing to "fix". All you can do is report.

Yes, you are right. No way to list those file here.

Backup comparison can be carried here.
