    R3trans is used for checking the os is connected to the database or not.

    If you wants to check the r3trans version means command is r3trans -v

    Here we have two more options r3trans -x and -d

    r3trans -x will give the database connectivity. here it does not check whether table is accessed or not.

    r3trans-d will give the database connectivity. it does check whether table is accessed or not.
