Several programs distributed with SCO UNIX System V are not fully documented. In general, these programs fall into two categories: programs retained to provide compatibility with earlier versions of SCO UNIX System V, and programs intended for execution by other programs, which are rarely of interest to the end user.

This page lists undocumented programs, together with brief notes on their functionality and relevance. Note that this list is likely to change with future releases of SCO UNIX System V. We strongly recommend that you make no attempt to use or remove programs on this list; doing so may interfere with the functionality of other programs.

Undocumented but useful programs are as follows:

cleanup: Shell script occasionally run by the root crontab file to clean up log files.
checkeq: Macro equation checker.
ibmlpopt: Used by the print service; displays lp(C) options specific to the IBM ProPrinter.
menu_add: Link to /bin/true.
menu_del: Link to /bin/true.
message: Used by installpkg(ADM), displaypkg(ADM), and removepkg(ADM).
mt: Lists the drive model number of the (obsolete) Intel tape drive.
pwdmenu: Used by backup(ADM).
utmp_getty: Provided for mscreen(M) support.
