You might want to read about the "System Resource Controller" or SRC, for short. It is sort of a super-daemon to start other daemons (called "subservers" or "subsystems", without wanting to go into details). Here is a (very short and incomplete)
Introduction to System Resource Controller (SRC) Commands
How these subsystems are started is defined with the command
mkssys and stored in a "registry"-like data storage called ODM. You can change an already defined subsystem with the command
chssys and remove a subsystem with the command
rmssys. Display a subsystems properties with the command
lssrc -ls <subsystem>.
Starting such a subsystem is done with
startsrc, stopping with
stopsrc and displayed what is running with
lssrc -a.
refresh reinitialises an already started subsystem if it supports signal communication (basically this sends a
kill -1), but some subsystems won't allow that, which is why you have to do a
stopsrc and then a
startsrc in such a case.
I hope this helps.
