xfnts_update Method

The RGM calls the Update method to notify a running resource that its properties have changed. The only properties that can be changed for the xfnts data service pertain to the fault monitor. Therefore, whenever a property is updated, the xfnts_update method calls scds_pmf_restart_fm() to restart the fault monitor.

* check if the Fault monitor is already running and if so stop
   * and restart it. The second parameter to scds_pmf_restart_fm()
   * uniquely identifies the instance of the fault monitor that needs
   * to be restarted.

   scds_syslog(LOG_INFO, "Restarting the fault monitor.");
   result = scds_pmf_restart_fm(scds_handle, 0);
   if (result != SCHA_ERR_NOERR) {
      scds_syslog(LOG_ERR,
          "Failed to restart fault monitor.");
      /* Free up all the memory allocated by scds_initialize */
      scds_close(&scds_handle);
      return (1);
   }

   scds_syslog(LOG_INFO,
   "Completed successfully.");

The second parameter to scds_pmf_restart_fm() uniquely identifies the instance of the fault monitor to be restarted if there are multiple instances. The value 0 in the example indicates there is only one instance of the fault monitor.
