System Administration Commands rctladm(1M)
NAME
rctladm - display or modify global state of system resource
controlsSYNOPSIS
rctladm [-lu] [-e action] [-d action] [name...]
DESCRIPTION
The rctladm command allows the examination and modification
of active resource controls on the running system. An instance of a resource control is referred to as an rctl. See setrctl(2) for a description of an rctl; seeresource_controls(5) for a list of the rctls supported in
the current release of the Solaris operating system. Loggingof rctl violations can be activated or deactivated system-
wide and active rctls (and their state) can be listed.An rctladm command without options is the equivalent of an
rctladm with the -l option. See the description of -l below.
OPTIONS The following options are supported:-d action
-e action
Disable (-d) or enable (-e) the global action on the
specified rctls. If no rctl is specified, no action is taken and an error status is returned. You can use the special token all with the disable option to deactivate all global actions on a resource control. You can set the syslog action to a specific degree by assigning a severity level. To do this, specify syslog=level, where level is one of the string tokens given as valid severity levels in syslog(3C). You canomit the common LOG_ prefix on the severity level. Note
that not all rctls support the syslog action. Seeresource_controls(5).
-l
List information about rctls. The name, global event actions and statuses, and global flags are displayed. If one or more name operands are specified, only those rctls matching the names are displayed.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 2 Jul 2007 1
System Administration Commands rctladm(1M)
-u
Configure resource controls based on the contents of/etc/rctladm.conf. Any name operands are ignored.
OPERANDS The following operands are supported: name The name of the rctl to operate on. Multiple rctl names can be specified. If no names are specified, and the list action has been specified, then all rctls are listed. If the enable or disable action is specified, one or more rctl names must be specified.EXAMPLES
Example 1 Activating System Logging for Specific ViolationsThe following command activates system logging of all viola-
tions of task.max-lwps.
# rctladm -e syslog task.max-lwps
#
Example 2 Examining the Current Status of a Specific Resource The following command examines the current status of thetask.max-lwps resource.
$ rctladm -l task.max-lwps
task.max-lwps syslog=DEBUG
