NAME
evmchmgr — Event Manager channel manager
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/evmchmgr
[-c
config_file]
[-l
log_file]
DESCRIPTION
The EVM channel manager is started automatically by the EVM daemon, and
usually should not be run as a stand-alone program.
It reads a set of channel definitions from the channel configuration
file and executes the commands defined as the
monitor
and
cleanup
functions for any channel, at the configured intervals.
A channel is not required to be configured with either of these
periodic functions.
However, the channel manager ignores any channels which do not have
either of these functions.
By default, the channel manager reads its configuration from the
/etc/evmchannel.conf
file.
To specify a different configuration file, use the
evmchgmr -c config_file
command.
If the channel configuration file is changed while the channel manager
is running, use the
evmreload -c
command to instruct the channel manager to reconfigure itself.
The channel manager reconfigures itself when
evmreload -c
is run, or upon receipt of a
SIGHUP
signal.
Options
- -c config_file
Sets the configuration file to
config_file.
The default configuration file is
/etc/evmchannel.conf.
- -l log_file
Sets message output to
log_file.
The default is
stderr.
When the channel manager starts,
it renames any previous message file by appending
.old
to its name, and creates a new file.
RETURN VALUES
The following exit values are returned:
- 0
Successful completion.
- not 0
An error occurred.

- /etc/evmchannel.conf
