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
