Name
       snapcopy - copy VAX 8600/8650 snapshot files

Syntax
       /etc/snapcopy [-d] directory

Description
       When  the  system crashes on a VAX 8600 or VAX 8650 system, the console
       subsystem creates snapshot files containing binary information  regard‐
       ing the state of the hardware at the time of the crash.	Snapshot files
       are typically used by hardware maintenance  personnel  to  analyze  and
       repair the cause of the system crash.

       The  command  copies any valid snapshot files (called and from the con‐
       sole RL02 disk into the directory specified.  The files are renamed  to
       show the time of the copy:

	      hr:min:sec-snap1.dat
	      hr:min:sec-snap2.dat

       You  should  delete  the	 comment character for the command in the file
       only for VAX 8600 and VAX 8650 systems.

       The directory is the name of the directory to which the snapshot	 files
       are to be copied.

Options

	    can be rewritten by the console subsystem in the event of  another
	    system crash.
