How to Add a Service

To add a standard terminal service to the mbmon port monitor, type the following:

# pmadm -a -p mbmon -s a -i root -v `ttyadm -V` -m "`ttyadm -i 'Terminal
 disabled' -l contty -m ldterm,ttcompat -S y -d /dev/term/a 
-s /usr/bin/login`"

Note –

In this example, the input wraps to the next line. Do not put a Return or line feed after contty.

`-a`	The add port monitor status flag
`-p`	Specifies the `pmtag` `mbmon` as the port monitor tag.
`-s`	Specifies the `svctag` a as the port monitor `service` tag.
`-i`	Specifies the `identity` to be assigned to `svctag` when it runs.
`-v`	Specifies the `version` number of the port monitor.
`-m`	Specifies the `ttymon`-specific configuration data formatted by `ttyadm`.

The above pmadm command contains an embedded ttyadm command. The options in this embedded command are as follows:

`-b`	The bidirectional port flag.
`-i`	Specifies the `inactive` (disabled) response message.
`-l`	Specifies which TTY `label` in the `/etc/ttydefs` file to use.
`-m`	Specifies the STREAMS `modules` to push before invoking this service.
`-d`	Specifies the full path name to the `device` to use for the TTY port.
`-s`	Specifies the full path name of the `service` to invoke when a connection request is received. If arguments are required, enclose the command and its arguments in quotation marks (").
