DESCRIPTION
       sacadm is the administrative command for the upper level of the
       Service Access Facility hierarchy, that is, for port monitor
       administration.  sacadm performs the following functions:
            - adds or removes a port monitor
            - starts or stops a port monitor
            - enables or disables a port monitor
            - installs or replaces a per-system configuration script
            - installs or replaces a per-port monitor configuration script
            - prints requested port monitor information

       Requests about the status of port monitors (-l and -L) and requests
       to print per-port monitor and per-system configuration scripts (-g
       and -G without the -z option) may be executed by any user on the
       system.  Other sacadm commands may be executed only by a privileged
       user.

       The options have the following meanings:

       -a   Add a port monitor.  When adding a port monitor, sacadm creates
            the supporting directory structure in /etc/saf and /varsaf and
            adds an entry for the new port monitor to /etc/saf/_sactab.  The
            file _sactab already exists on the delivered system.  Initially,
            it is empty except for a single line, which contains the version
            number of the Service Access Controller.
            Unless the command line that adds the new port monitor includes
            a -f option with the argument x, the new port monitor will be
            started.  Because of the complexity of the options and arguments
            that follow the -a option, it may be convenient to use a command
            script or the menu system to add port monitors.  If you use the
            menu system, enter sysadm ports and then choose the
            port_monitors option.

       -c cmd
            Execute the command string cmd to start a port monitor.  The -c
            option may be used only with a -a.  A -a option requires a -c.

sacadm(1M)                       DG/UX 5.4.2                      sacadm(1M)


       -d   Disable the port monitor pmtag.

       -e   Enable the port monitor pmtag.

       -f dx
            The -f option specifies one or both of the following two flags
            which are then included in the flags field of the _sactab entry
            for the new port monitor.  If the -f option is not included on
            the command line, no flags are set and the default conditions
            prevail.  By default, a port monitor is started.  A -f option
            with no following argument is illegal.
              d   Do not enable the new port monitor.
              x   Do not start the new port monitor.

       -g   The -g option is used to request output or to install or replace
            the per-port monitor configuration script
            /etc/saf/pmtag/_config.  -g requires a -p option.  The -g option
            with only a -p option prints the per-port monitor configuration
            script for port monitor pmtag.  The -g option with a -p option
            and a -z option installs the file script as the per-port monitor
            configuration script for port monitor pmtag.  Other combinations
            of options with -g are invalid.

       -G   The -G option is used to request output or to install or replace
            the per-system configuration script /etc/saf/_sysconfig.  The -G
            option by itself prints the per-system configuration script.
            The -G option in combination with a -z option installs the file
            script as the per-system configuration script.  Other
            combinations of options with a -G option are invalid.

       -k   Stop port monitor pmtag.

       -l   The -l option is used to request port monitor information.  The
            -l by itself lists all port monitors on the system.  The -l
            option in combination with the -p option lists only the port
            monitor specified by pmtag.  A -l in combination with the -t
            option lists all port monitors of type type.  Any other
            combination of options with the -l option is invalid.

       -L   The -L option is identical to the -l option except that the
            output appears in a condensed format.

       -n count
            Set the restart count to count.  If a restart count is not
            specified, count is set to 0.  A count of 0 indicates that the
            port monitor is not to be restarted if it fails.

       -p pmtag
            Specifies the tag associated with a port monitor.

       -r   Remove port monitor pmtag.  sacadm removes the port monitor
            entry from /etc/saf/_sactab.  If the removed port monitor is not
            running, then no further action is taken.  If the removed port
            monitor is running, the Service Access Controller (SAC) sends it

sacadm(1M)                       DG/UX 5.4.2                      sacadm(1M)


            SIGTERM to indicate that it should shut down.  Note that the
            port monitor's directory structure remains intact.

       -s   Start a port monitor.  The SAC starts the port monitor pmtag.

       -t type
            Specifies the port monitor type.

       -v ver
            Specifies the version number of the port monitor.  This version
            number may be given as
                 -v `pmspec -V`
            where pmspec is the special administrative command for port
            monitor pmtag.  This special command is ttyadm for ttymon and
            nlsadmin for listen.  The version stamp of the port monitor is
            known by the command and is returned when pmspec is invoked with
            a -V option.

       -x   The -x option by itself tells the SAC to read its database file
            (_sactab).  The -x option with the -p option tells port monitor
            pmtag to read its administrative file.

       -y comment
            Include comment in the _sactab entry for port monitor pmtag.

       -z script
            Used with the -g and -G options to specify the name of a file
            that contains a configuration script.  With the -g option,
            script is a per-port monitor configuration script; with -G it is
            a per-system configuration script.  Modifying a configuration
            script is a three-step procedure.  First a copy of the existing
            script is made (-g or -G).  Then the copy is edited.  Finally,
            the copy is put in place over the existing script (-g or -G with
            -z).

OUTPUT
       If successful, sacadm will exit with a status of 0.  If sacadm fails
       for any reason, it will exit with a nonzero status.  Options that
       request information will write the information on the standard
       output.  In the condensed format (-L), port monitor information is
       printed as a sequence of colon-separated fields; empty fields are
       indicated by two successive colons.  The standard format (-l) prints
       a header identifying the columns, and port monitor information is
       aligned under the appropriate headings.  In this format, an empty
       field is indicated by a hyphen.  The comment character is #.

EXAMPLES
       The following command line adds a port monitor.  The port monitor tag
       is npack; its type is listen; if necessary, it will restart three
       times before failing; its administrative command is nlsadmin; and the
       configuration script to be read is in the file script:
            sacadm -a -p npack -t listen -c /usr/lib/saf/listen npack \
               -v `nlsadmin -V` -n 3 -z script
       Remove a port monitor whose tag is pmtag:
