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
