gwcheck [--opt [/pathname/]options_file [--batch] ] [--po post_office_directory][--pa archive_directory][--pr remote_mailbox_directory]
GroupWise Check (GWCheck) is a tool provided for GroupWise to check and repair GroupWise user, message, library, and resource databases without needing ConsoleOne. In addition to checking databases in the post office, it also checks users’ remote, caching, and archive databases on user workstations or other personal locations.
GWCheck provides a user interface similar to the Mailbox/Library Maintenance feature in ConsoleOne. The list below illustrates the types of database repair that you can perform using GWCheck. Click in GWCheck for more information about the database repair options that are available.

If you repeatedly use the same set of database repair options, you can save them in an options file. To create an options file, start GWCheck, select database repair options as needed, then click . By default, the options file is named gwcheck.opt and is saved in your home directory. You can change the filename and location as needed. You can retrieve the options file from the user interface or you can specify the options file on the command line. The options file is created in XML format on all platforms. Therefore, you can create the options file on any platform and use it on any platform interchangeably.
After you have created one or more options files, you can run GWCheck as a script, rather than using the user interface.
