A.2 Sentinel Scripts

Sentinel provides operational scripts that are appropriate for use during normal operations. These scripts are located in the following directories:

  • /opt/novell/sentinel/bin

For most scripts that require arguments, running the scripts without arguments provides details about how to use the arguments.
