NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       update - Periodically updates the file system

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /sbin/update

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  update command flushes data from memory to disk every
       30 seconds.  This ensures that the file system  is  up  to
       date in the event of a system crash.  This command is provided
 as  a  statically-linked  executable  in  the  /sbin
       directory.

       The setting of the smoothsync_age attribute of the vm kernel
 subsystem overrides the default timing of  the  update
       command.  See  sys_attrs_vm(5)  for more information about
       this attribute. Refer to the System Configuration and Tuning
 and System Administration manuals for general information
 about configuring and tuning the system.
