NAME
       GROK-FSCK - Check mirrored repositories for corruption


SYNOPSIS
          grok-fsck -c /path/to/fsck.conf


DESCRIPTION
       Git  repositories can get corrupted whether they are frequently updated or not, which is why it is useful
       to routinely check them using "git fsck". Grokmirror ships with a "grok-fsck" utility that will run  "git
       fsck"  on all mirrored git repositories. It is supposed to be run nightly from cron, and will do its best
       to randomly stagger the checks so only a subset of repositories is checked each night. Any errors will be
       sent to the user set in MAILTO.


OPTIONS
          --version
                 show program's version number and exit

          -h, --help
                 show this help message and exit

          -v, --verbose
                 Be verbose and tell us what you are doing

          -f, --force
                 Force immediate run on all repositories.

          -c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG
                 Location of fsck.conf


EXAMPLES
       Locate  fsck.conf  and  modify  it  to  reflect  your  needs.  The  default configuration file is heavily
       commented.

       Set up a cron job to run nightly and to email any discovered errors to root:

          # Make sure MAILTO is set, for error reports
          MAILTO=root
          # Run nightly, at 2AM
          00 02 * * * mirror /usr/bin/grok-fsck -c /etc/grokmirror/fsck.conf

       You can force a full run using the -f flag, but unless you only have a  few  smallish  git  repositories,
       it's not recommended, as it may take several hours to complete.
