Parameters

Item Description
-e Writes the symptom string and the stack trace to the system errlog. The symptom string is displayed on the standard output.

If no parameters are used, the symptom subcommand displays the symptom string on the standard output.

The symptom subcommand is not valid on a running system. The optional -e flag creates an error log entry that contains the symptom string. This flag is normally only used by the system and not entered manually. The symptom string can be used to identify duplicate problems.
