NAME

       poold - automated resource pools partitioning daemon

SYNOPSIS

       poold [-l level]

       poold  provides	automated resource partitioning facilities. Normally, poold is active on the system whenever the pools facility is active.
       poold starts and stops when the pool_set_status(3POOL) function activates or deactivates the pools facility. poold starts when you activate
       pools and stops when you deactivate pools. If you manually stop poold by using a utility such as kill(1), you can invoke it manually.

       poold's	configuration  details are held in a libpool(3LIB) configuration and you can access all customizable behavior from this configura-
       tion.

       poold periodically examines the load on the system and decides whether intervention is required to maintain optimal system performance with
       respect	to resource consumption. poold also responds to externally initiated (with respect to poold) changes of either resource configura-
       tion or objectives.

       If intervention is required, poold attempts to reallocate the available resources to ensure that performance objectives are  satisfied.	If
       it is not possible for poold to meet performance objectives with the available resources, then a message is written to the log. poold allo-
       cates scarce resources according to the objectives configured by the administrator. The system administrator must determine which  resource
       pools are most deserving of scarce resource and indicate this through the importance of resource pools and objectives.

       The following options are supported:

       -l level        Specify the vebosity level for logging information.

		       Specify	level  as  ALERT,  CRIT, ERR, WARNING, NOTICE, INFO, and DEBUG. If level is not supplied, then the default logging
		       level is INFO.

		       ALERT		A condition that should be corrected immediately, such as a corrupted system database.

		       CRIT	       Critical conditions, such as hard device errors.

		       ERR	       Errors.

		       WARNING	       Warning messages.

		       NOTICE		Conditions that are not error conditions, but that may require special handling.

		       INFO	       Informational messages.

		       DEBUG	       Messages that contain information normally of use only when debugging a program.

       When invoked manually, with the -l option, all log output is directed to standard error.

       Example 1: Modifying the Default Logging Level

       The following command modifies the default logging level to ERR:

       # /usr/lib/pool/poold -l ERR
