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 FILES

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 FILES
Executable file Default directory for event template files. Default location for event filter files. Filter files must have the suffix .evf. Error log file for evmd. UNIX domain socket established for connection between the EVM daemon and the local clients. Daemon process id saved by evmd. Lock file established to prevent multiple invocations of the daemon. Default location of the EVM daemon config- uration file. Default location of the EVM daemon authorization file. SEE ALSO
