NAME

       evmchmgr - Event Manager channel manager

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/evmchmgr [-c config_file] [-l log_file]

OPTIONS

       Sets the configuration file to config_file.  The default is /etc/evmchannel.conf.  Sets message output to log_file.  The default is stderr.
       When the channel manager starts it renames any previous message file by appending .old to its name, and creates a new file.

OPERANDS

       None

DESCRIPTION

       The EVM channel manager is started automatically by the EVM daemon, and usually should not be run as a stand-alone program.  It reads a set
       of  channel  definitions from the channel configuration file and executes the commands defined as the monitor and cleanup functions for any
       channel, at the configured intervals.  There is no requirement for any channel to be configured with either of the periodic functions;  the
       channel manager ignores any channels which have neither.

       By  default, the channel manager reads its configuration from /etc/evmchannel.conf.  The -c flag can be used to override this. If the chan-
       nel configuration file is changed while the channel manager is running, the evmreload -c command should be used to instruct it to reconfig-
       ure itself.

       The channel manager reconfigures itself when evmreload -c is run, or upon receipt of a SIGHUP signal.

EXIT VALUES

NAME

       evmd - Event Manager daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/evmd

OPTIONS

       None

OPERANDS

       None

DESCRIPTION

       The  EVM  daemon,  evmd, receives events from posting clients and distributes them to subscribing clients that have indicated that they are
       interested in receiving them. The daemon is a critical system facility that is started automatically when the system transitions  to  level
       2, and which should not be terminated.  The daemon in turn starts the logger, evmlogger, and the channel manager, evmchmgr.

       On  startup,  the  daemon  reads its configuration file, /etc/evmdaemon.conf, the authorization file, /etc/evm.auth, and the event template
       files stored under the /usr/share/evm/templates directory.  If these files are modified while the daemon is running,  the  evmreload  -d(8)
       command must be used to instruct the daemon to reconfigure itself.

       The system administrator can control access to events at any level by modifying the EVM authorization file, /etc/evm.auth.

       As a daemon, evmd does not have a standard output. Any error messages are written to the file /var/evm/adm/logfiles/evmdaemon.log.

       The daemon reconfigures itself when evmreload -d is run, or upon receipt of a SIGHUP signal.

RESTRICTIONS

       The  daemon rejects any attempt by a posting client to post an event that is not registered, that contains invalid item values, or that the
       poster is not authorized to post.

EXIT VALUES

       The following exit values are returned: Successful completion An error occurred

FILES

       Executable file Default directory for event template files.  Default location for event filter files.  Filter files must  have  the  suffix
       .evf.   Error  log  file  for  evmd.   UNIX  domain socket established for connection between the EVM daemon and the local clients.  Daemon
       process id saved by evmd.  Lock file established to prevent multiple invocations of the daemon.	Default location of the EVM daemon config-
       uration file.  Default location of the EVM daemon authorization file.
