Administering listen Port Monitor Services

Use the pmadm command to add, enable, disable, and list the services associated with a listen port monitor.

Note -

You must be superuser to perform the following procedures.

How to Add a listen Port Monitor Service

To add a listen port monitor service, type:


# pmadm -a -p tcp -s lp -i root -v `nlsadmin -V` -m "`nlsadmin
-o /var/spool/lp/fifos/listenS5`"

In this example, a listen service is added for print requests from remote SunOS 5.x machines. This service does not listen for requests from SunOS 4.x machines.

Note -

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

-a

The add port monitor service flag

-p

Specifies the pmtag tcp as the port monitor tag

-s

Specifies the svctag lp as the port monitor service tag

-i

-v
