How to Add a Service

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

2. Add a standard terminal service to the mbmon port monitor.

   # 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`"

   -a

   Specifies 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 the service runs.

   -v

   Specifies the version number of the port monitor.

   -m

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

   -b

   Specifies 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 (“).
