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.
