I believe so. You could use a
bpstart_notify script to run it on every client if you wanted to.
BTW, it’s bpmount –i

Curtis,
Can you only use it
locally ?? So if you want info from remote clients you need to do an rsh or
something similar ???

I believe you want the bpmount command.

I’d like to obtain a list of the file systems on our
unix clients for reporting. Bpcoverage uses some type of mechanism to obtain
this list.
Can anyone provide further insight as to how bpcoverage
obtains a list of the remote client’s file systems?
I have run strings against the binary and found the
function, “get_mount_info”
The truss –eai command has not yet yielded any
information to help me discover how bpcoverage works.
bpdir does NOT appear to provide the list of remote file
systems, like df, Instead it is more of a directory listing like ls which is
not sufficient.
Bpmount does provide this information but I have not yet
determined how to run this remotely against another host.
Any information on this topic is greatly appreciated.
