NAME

       evmreload - Reload Event Manager configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/evmreload [-d] [-a] [-c] [-l] [-n]

OPTIONS

       Reconfigures  the  EVM channel manager.	Reconfigures the EVM daemon.  Reconfigures the EVM logger.  Syntax checks the event template files
       and reports errors, but does not make any changes effective.  If a daemon reconfiguration is requested, the reconfiguration request will be
       sent even if there are errors in any template file.  If errors exist, there is no guarantee that the new configuration will be accepted.

OPERANDS

       None

DESCRIPTION

       The  evmreload command posts control events that instruct EVM resident components to reload their configuration files.  It should be run to
       cause EVM to begin using the new configuration any time a configuration file has been changed.

       If no options are specified, the daemon, the channel manager, and the logger all reload their configurations.

       The daemon should be reconfigured any time its configuration file or event template database has changed.  The logger should  be  reconfig-
       ured anytime its configuration has changed.  The channel manager should be reconfigured anytime its configuration has changed.

       Resident EVM components also reload their configuration files on receipt of a SIGHUP signal.

       If an activity monitor is specified in the EVM daemon configuration file, all counts and timers associated with the monitor are reset.

NOTES

       The  evmreload  command uses the evmshow -verify command to check for errors in configuration files before sending a reload request to EVM.
       If errors are found, they are reported to stderr and no reconfiguration request is sent.  This check does not  find  all  possible  errors,
       however,  so  you  should  take care to check for errors reported by the EVM components themselves.  To do this, run the following command:
       evmget -A -f '[name *.evm] & [age < 5m]' -t '@timestamp	@@'

RESTRICTIONS

       You must be user root to run this command.

EXAMPLES

       The following command will cause the EVM daemon to reconfigure itself: /usr/sbin/evmreload -d The following command will cause the EVM log-
       ger  to	reconfigure  itself:  /usr/sbin/evmreload  -l  The  following  command	will  cause the EVM channel manager to reconfigure itself:
       /usr/sbin/evmreload -c To syntax check the daemon configuration file without any reconfiguration actually occurring,  enter  the  following
       command:  /usr/sbin/evmreload -n To reconfigure both the EVM daemon and the EVM logger, enter the following command: /usr/sbin/evmreload -d
       -l To reconfigure the EVM daemon, the EVM logger, and the EVM channel manager, enter the following command: /usr/sbin/evmreload The follow-
       ing  command  will  reconfigure	the EVM daemon, the EVM logger, and the EVM channel manager even if there are errors in the template file.
       /usr/sbin/evmreload -a

EXIT VALUES

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