time, you may want to benefit from the Rescue and Recovery environment. For
demonstration purposes, a sample UPDATE_RRE.CMD script is provided in the
following section that will extract the control file for the Rescue and Recovery
environment, which you can edit and then put back into the Rescue and Recovery
environment using rrutil.exe. See “Using RRUTIL.EXE” on page 30 for more
information.
To modify the Predesktop Area, the UPDATE_RRE.CMD script demonstrates
several processes:
v
Use rrutil.exe to get a file from the Rescue and Recovery environment. The files
to be extracted from the Rescue and Recovery environment are defined by in file
getlist.txt.
v
Create a directory structure to put files back into the Predesktop Area after
editing the appropriate file.
v
Make a copy of the file for safe keeping and then edit it.
