sigmet_env Command

Use sigmet_env to test or troubleshoot items associated with an IRIS installation.

To sue the command, log in as a normal IRIS user, run sigmet_env. The sigmet_env command checks the following:

  • That all the IRIS operators and observers are in the /etc/users file.
  • That all IRIS environment variables that point to directories are defined and the directory exists, and the directory can be read and written as required.
  • For obvious bad file names in the saved menu directory.
  • That IRIS executable files which require the set–UID–on–execute bit set are set with the correct UID.
  • The RDA (RVP/RCP) environment.

The following example shows a case with a bad file name of .TSC.
