Extract with sh, not csh. echo x - preen.8 cat > preen.8 << '11668!Funky!Stuff!' .TH PREEN 8 .SH NAME preen \- run fsck in parallel .SH SYNOPSIS /etc/preen .SH DESCRIPTION .I Preen has the same effect as /etc/fsck \-p, except that it can be much faster. This is because .I preen tries to keep all the disk drives busy, whereas .I fsck tends to leave them idle more than it should. .PP .I Preen first checks the root partition, then attempts to keep one instance of .I fsck running on each disk drive, until the filesystems have all been checked. .SH FILES .br .ns .TP 21 /etc/fstab contains default list of file systems to check. .TP 21 /etc/fsck program to check the disks .SH DIAGNOSTICS The exit status returned by .I preen is coded the same way as the status returned by fsck \-p, and so can be used in the /etc/rc script for automatic rebooting. .SH AUTHOR Chris Torek (chris@umcp-cs) .SH SEE ALSO fsck(8) .SH BUGS 11668!Funky!Stuff!
