You could move the mount and do an ln -s and keep the settings you had by 
tricking remedy to think it still lives in the old path.

Good points - I tried recursive grepping but it kept blowing up - presumably 
when it hit large binaries.  

My unix skills aren't great enough know what to all avoid or even how to write 
out "grep this but not that" kind of stuff.  I'll do some googling on that.

Don't forget the main  bin/arsystem  script.  It has no extension.

You might start at the root install directory and do a recursive grep for that 
directory
    i.e.  If your ARS installation is installed at    /opt/bmc/ars   
       cd /opt/bmc/ars   
       grep -r -e "/opt/bmc/ars" .   

You also want to check the  /etc/arsystem/{ServerName}  directory as well as 
the home directory of the login that you run the ARS server as.

Hi all -

For reasons far too long to detail here we need to move our installation of 
several servers from one disk mount point to another.  In short, this means our 
installation directory is going to change.

I'm not too worried about finding the app settings inside the DB to update, but 
outside the db I need to find all of the places the install directory is 
embedded in the app - then we are going to have a script written/run for us 
that does a search and replace.

I know Remedy uses the following file extensions to hold configuration data or 
otherwise might embed the install path for the app - does anyone know of any 
more?

. .xml
. .conf
. .cfg
. .properties
. .sh (all of the startup stuff)

Thanks in advance...
