Port Monitor States

The sacadm command controls the states of the ttymon and listen port monitors. The following table describes the possible port monitor states.

State	Description
`Started`	Default state – When the port monitor is added, it is automatically started.
`Enabled`	Default state – When the port monitor is added, it is automatically ready to accept requests for service.
`Stopped`	Default state – When the port monitor is removed, it is automatically stopped.
`Disabled`	Default state – When the port monitor is removed, it automatically continues existing services and refuses to add new services.
`Starting`	Intermediate state – The port monitor is in the process of starting.
`Stopping`	Intermediate state – The port monitor has been manually terminated, but it has not completed its shutdown procedure. The port monitor is on the way to becoming stopped.
`Notrunning`	Inactive state – The port monitor has been killed. All ports previously monitored are inaccessible. An external user cannot tell whether a port is `disabled` or `notrunning`.
`Failed`	Inactive state – The port monitor is unable to start and remain running.

To determine the state of any particular port monitor, use the following command:

# sacadm -l -p portmon-name
