- -list
Displays a list of all the NetBackup log directories along with the details about the permissions set.
- -fixFolderPerm
Sets the recommended permissions for the already existing NetBackup log directories, if the permissions are not already set. This scenario refers to the use cases in case of NetBackup version upgrade.
- -dryrun
Allows the user to review the changes before they are made. If you specify this option, no changes are made to the system.
- -help

- logdirname
Specifies a list of one or more space-separated log directories on which an action needs to be performed. If no log directories are specified, then the action is performed on all the log directories.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 - Create all the NetBackup log directories for a user, with the recommended permissions.
# mklogdir -create
Example 2 - Create the admin and the bpdbm log directories with the recommended permissions.
# mklogdir admin bpdbm
Example 3 - Examine all the existing log directories and set the permissions to those directories which do not have the recommended permissions. This command needs to be used after NetBackup version upgrade to set the recommended permissions for all the existing log files.
# mklogdir -fixFolderPerm
Example 4 - Examine all the existing log directories and display the changes that need to be made to get the recommended permissions.
# mklogdir -fixFolderPerm -dryrun
