DESCRIPTION
pmadm is the administrative command for the lower level of the
Service Access Facility hierarchy, that is, for service
administration. A port may have only one service associated with it
although the same service may be available through more than one
port. In order to uniquely identify an instance of a service the
pmadm command must identify both the port monitor or port monitors
through which the service is available (-p or -t) and the service
(-s). See the option descriptions below.
pmadm performs the following functions:
- add or remove a service
- enable or disable a service
- install or replace a per-service configuration script
- print requested service information
Any user on the system may invoke pmadm to request service status (-l
or -L) or to print per-service configuration scripts (-g without the
-z option). pmadm with other options may be executed only by a
privileged user.
The options have the following meanings:
-a Add a service. pmadm adds an entry for the new service to the
port monitor's administrative file. 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
services. If you use the menu system, enter sysadm ports, then
choose the port_services option.
-d Disable a service. Add x to the flag field in the entry for the
service svctag in the port monitor's administrative file. This
is the entry used by port monitor pmtag. See the -f option,
below, for a description of the flags available.
-e Enable a service. Remove x from the flag field in the entry for
the service svctag in the port monitor administrative file.
This is the entry used by port monitor pmtag. See the -f
option, below, for a description of the flags available.
-f xu
The -f option specifies one or both of the following two flags
which are then included in the flag field of the entry for the
new service in the port monitor's administrative file. If the
-f option is not included, no flags are set and the default
conditions prevail. By default, a new service is enabled and no
utmp entry is created for it. A -f option without a following
argument is illegal.
x Do not enable the service svctag available through
port monitor pmtag.
u Create a utmp entry for service svctag available through
port monitor pmtag.
-g Print, install, or replace a per-service configuration script.
The -g option with a -p option and a -s option prints the per-
service configuration script for service svctag available
through port monitor pmtag. The -g option with a -p option, a
-s option, and a -z option installs the per-service
configuration script contained in the file script as the per-
service configuration script for service svctag available
through port monitor pmtag. The -g option with a -s option, a
-t option, and a -z option installs the file script as the per-
service configuration script for service svctag available
through any port monitor of type type. Other combinations of
options with -g are invalid.
-i id
id is the identity that is to be assigned to service svctag when
it is started. id must be an entry in /etc/passwd.
-l The -l option requests service information. Used by itself and
with the options described below it provides a filter for
extracting information in several different groupings.
-l By itself, the -l option lists all services on the
system.
-l -p pmtag
Lists all services available through port monitor pmtag.
-l -s svctag
Lists all services with tag svctag.
-l -p pmtag -s svctag
Lists service svctag.
-l -t type
Lists all services available through port monitors of
type type.
-l -t type -s svctag
Lists all services with tag svctag available through a
port monitor of type type.
Other combinations of options with -l are invalid.
-L The -L option is identical to the -l option except that output
is printed in a condensed format.
-m pmspecific
pmspecific is the port monitor-specific portion of the port
monitor administrative file entry for the service.
-p pmtag
Specifies the tag associated with the port monitor through which
a service (specified as -s svctag) is available.
-r Remove a service. When pmadm removes a service, the entry for
the service is removed from the port monitor's administrative
file.
-s svctag
Specifies the service tag associated with a given service. The
service tag is assigned by the system administrator and is part
of the entry for the service in the port monitor's
administrative file.
-t type
Specifies the the port monitor type.
-v ver
Specifies the version number of the port monitor administrative
file. The 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.
-y comment
Associate comment with the service entry in the port monitor
administrative file.
-z script
Used with the -g option to specify the name of the file that
contains the per-service configuration script. Modifying a
configuration script is a three-step procedure. First a copy of
the existing script is made (-g alone). Then the copy is
edited. Finally, the copy is put in place over the existing
script (-g with -z).
OUTPUT
If successful, pmadm will exit with a status of 0. If it fails for
any reason, it will exit with a nonzero status.
Options that request information write the requested information to
the standard output. A request for information using the -l option
prints column headers and aligns the information under the
appropriate headings. In this format, a missing field is indicated
by a hyphen. A request for information in the condensed format using
the -L option prints the information in colon-separated fields;
missing fields are indicated by two successive colons. # is the
comment character.
EXAMPLES
Add a service to a port monitor with tag pmtag. Give the service the
tag svctag. Port monitor-specific information is generated by
specpm. The service defined by svctag will be invoked with identity
root.
pmadm -a -p pmtag -s svctag -i root -m `specpm -a arg1 -b arg2` \
-v `specpm -V`
Add a service with service tag svctag, identity guest, and port
monitor-specific information generated by specpm to all port monitors
of type type:
pmadm -a -s svctag -i guest -t type -m `specpm -a arg1 -b arg2` \
-v `specpm -V`
Remove the service svctag from port monitor pmtag:
pmadm -r -p pmtag -s svctag
Enable the service svctag available through port monitor pmtag:
pmadm -e -p pmtag -s svctag
Disable the service svctag available through port monitor pmtag:
pmadm -d -p pmtag -s svctag
List status information for all services:
pmadm -l
List status information for all services available through the port
monitor with tag ports:
pmadm -l -p ports
List the same information in condensed format:
pmadm -L -p ports
List status information for all services available through port
monitors of type listen:
pmadm -l -t listen
Print the per-service configuration script associated with the
service svctag available through port monitor pmtag:
pmadm -g -p pmtag -s svctag
