Port Monitor Administrative Command pmadm

pmadm is the administrative command for the lower level of the SAF hierarchy, that is, for service administration. See the pmadm(1M) man page. A port can have only one service associated with it, although the same service might be available through more than one port. pmadm performs the following functions:

• Prints service status information from the port monitor's administrative file

• Adds or removes a service

• Enables or disables a service

• Installs or replaces a per-service configuration script

In order to identify an instance of a service uniquely, the pmadm command must identify both the service (-s) and the port monitor or port monitors through which the service is available (-p or -t).
