rmtrigger

Removes trigger from an element

APPLICABILITY

ClearCase (cleartool subcommand), Attache (command)

SYNOPSIS

rmtrigger [ -c·omment comment | -cfi·le comment-file-pname |-cq·uery: | -cqe·ach | -nc·omment ]
[ -nin·herit | -nat·tach ] [ -r·ecurse ] trigger-type-selector pname ...

DESCRIPTION

The rmtrigger command removes an attached trigger from one or more elements. By default, rmtrigger removes the trigger from both the attached list and the inheritance list (if a directory element). You can modify the default action for directory elements with the -ninherit and -nattach options.

The specified trigger-type-selector is not affected by rmtrigger. To delete the trigger type, use the rmtype command. Note that you can remove an attached trigger from an element even if the trigger type is obsolete.

PERMISSIONS AND LOCKS

Permissions Checking: For each object processed, you must be one of the following: element group member, element owner, VOB owner, member of the ClearCase group. See the permissions reference page.

Locks: An error occurs if any of the following objects are locked: VOB, element type, element, trigger type.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

EVENT RECORDS AND COMMENTS. Default: Creates one or more event records, with commenting controlled by your .clearcase_profile file (default: -nc). See CUSTOMIZING COMMENT HANDLING in the comments reference page. Comments can be edited with chevent.

-c·omment comment | -cfi·le comment-file-pname |-cq·uery | -cqe·ach | -nc·omment: Overrides the default with the option you specify. See the comments reference page.

MANIPULATING THE TRIGGER LISTS OF A DIRECTORY ELEMENT. Default: The trigger is removed from both of a directory element's trigger lists: its attached list and its inheritance list.

-nin·herit: (Directory element only) The trigger is removed from the directory's attached list, but remains on its inheritance list. The trigger does not fire when the monitored operation is performed on the directory itself, but new elements created in that directory inherit the trigger.

-nat·tach: (Directory element only) The trigger is removed from the directory's inheritance list, but remains on its attached list. The trigger continues to fire when the monitored operation is performed on the directory itself, but new elements created in that directory do not inherit the trigger.

REMOVING TRIGGERS FROM AN ENTIRE SUBDIRECTORY TREE. Default: If a pname argument names a directory element, the trigger is removed only from the element itself, not from any of the existing elements within it.

-r·ecurse: Processes the entire subtree of each pname that is a directory element (including pname itself).

SPECIFYING THE TRIGGER TYPE. Default: None.

trigger-type-selector: The name of an existing element trigger type. Specify trigger-type-selector in the form [trtype:]type-name[@vob-selector]

type-name

Name of the trigger type

vob-selector

VOB specifier

Specify vob-selector in the form [vob:]pname-in-vob

pname-in-vob

Pathname of the VOB-tag (whether or not the VOB is mounted) or of any file-system object within the VOB (if the VOB is mounted)

SPECIFYING THE ELEMENTS. Default: None.

pname ...: One or more pathnames, specifying elements from which triggers (instances of the specified trigger type) are to be removed.

EXAMPLES

Examples including wildcards or quoting are written for use in cleartool interactive mode. If you use cleartool single-command mode, you may need to change the wildcards and quoting to make your command interpreter process the command appropriately.

In cleartool single-command mode, cmd-context represents the command interpreter prompt. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt. In Attache, cmd-context represents the workspace prompt.

Remove an attached trigger from hello.c.

cmd-context rmtrigger trig1 hello.c Removed trigger "trig1" from attached list of "hello.c".

Remove an attached trigger from the src directory's attached list, but leave it in the inheritance list.

cmd-context rmtrigger -ninherit trig1 src Removed trigger "trig1" from attached list of "src".

Remove an attached trigger from the release directory's inheritance list, but leave it in the attached list.

cmd-context rmtrigger -nattach trig1 release Removed trigger "trig1" from inheritance list of "release".
