man chk_state

NAME

  chk_state - check state files

SYNOPSIS

  chk_state [-options] [hostname[...]]

DESCRIPTION

  The chk_state script is distributed with uaxtools and compares current and previous
  files generated by the get_state suite of scripts.  If no hostname is specified the
  current  node  is  checked.   If  multiple nodes are specified the script relies on
  either xdsh or push depending on how it is configured.  These scripts  utilize  the
  etc/gs.base  and  etc/gs.host configuration files to facilitate customizing what is
  collected, see 'man get_state' for more information.
