DESCRIPTION
sacadm is the administrative command for the upper level of
the Service Access Facility hierarchy (port monitor adminis-

System Administration Commands sacadm(1M)
o installs or replaces a per-port monitor configura-
tion script o prints requested port monitor informationRequests about the status of port monitors (-l and -L) and
requests to print per-port monitor and per-system configura-
tion scripts (-g and -G without the -z option) may be exe-
cuted by any user on the system. Other sacadm commands may
be executed only by the super-user.
OPTIONS-a Add a port monitor. When adding a port moni-
tor, sacadm creates the supporting directory
structure in /etc/saf and /var/saf and adds an entry for the new port monitor to/etc/saf/_sactab. The file _sactab already
exists on the delivered system. Initially, itis empty except for a single line, which con-
tains the version number of the Service Access Controller. Unless the command line that addsthe new port monitor includes the -f option
with the -x argument, the new port monitor
will be started. Because of the complexity ofthe options and arguments that follow the - a
option, it may be convenient to use a commandscript or the menu system to add port moni-
tors.-c cmd Execute the command string cmd to start a port
monitor. The -c option may be used only with a
-a. A -a option requires a -c.
-d Disable the port monitor pmtag.
-e Enable the port monitor pmtag.
-f dx The -f option specifies one or both of the
following two flags which are then included inthe flags field of the _sactab entry for the
new port monitor. If the -f option is not
included on the command line, no flags are set and the default conditions prevail. Bydefault, a port monitor is started. A -f
option with no following argument is illegal.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 14 Sep 1992 2
System Administration Commands sacadm(1M)
d Do not enable the new port monitor. x Do not start the new port monitor.-g The -g option is used to request output or to
install or replace the per-port monitor confi-
guration script /etc/saf/pmtag/_config. -g
requires a -p option. The -g option with only
a -p option prints the per-port monitor confi-
guration script for port monitor pmtag. The -g
option with a -p option and a -z option
installs the file script as the per-port mon-
itor configuration script for port monitorpmtag. Other combinations of options with -g
are invalid.-G The -G option is used to request output or to
install or replace the per-system configura-
tion script /etc/saf/_sysconfig. The -G option
by itself prints the per-system configuration
script. The -G option in combination with a -z
option installs the file script as the per-
system configuration script. Other combina-
tions of options with a -G option are invalid.
-k Stop port monitor pmtag.
-l The -l option is used to request port monitor
information. The -l by itself lists all port
monitors on the system. The -l option in com-
bination with the -p option lists only the
port monitor specified by pmtag. A -l in com-
bination with the -t option lists all port
monitors of type type. Any other combinationof options with the -l option is invalid.
-L The -L option is identical to the -l option
except that the output appears in a condensed format.-n count Set the restart count to count. If a restart
count is not specified, count is set to 0. A count of 0 indicates that the port monitor is not to be restarted if it fails.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 14 Sep 1992 3
System Administration Commands sacadm(1M)
-p pmtag Specifies the tag associated with a port moni-
tor.-r Remove port monitor pmtag. sacadm removes the
port monitor entry from /etc/saf/_sactab. If
the removed port monitor is not running, then no further action is taken. If the removed port monitor is running, the Service Access Controller (SAC) sends it SIGTERM to indicate that it should shut down. Note that the port monitor's directory structure remains intact.-s Start a port monitor. The SAC starts the port
monitor pmtag.-t type Specifies the port monitor type.
-v ver Specifies the version number of the port moni-
tor. This version number may be given as-v `pmspec -V`
where pmspec is the special administrative command for port monitor pmtag. This special command is ttyadm for ttymon and nlsadmin for listen. The version stamp of the port monitor is known by the command and is returned whenpmspec is invoked with a -V option.
-x The -x option by itself tells the SAC to read
its database file (_sactab). The -x option
with the -p option tells port monitor pmtag to
read its administrative file.-y comment Include comment in the _sactab entry for port
monitor pmtag.-z script Used with the -g and -G options to specify the
name of a file that contains a configurationscript. With the -g option, script is a per-
port monitor configuration script; with -G it
is a per-system configuration script. Modify-
ing a configuration script is a three-step
procedure. First a copy of the existing scriptSunOS 5.11 Last change: 14 Sep 1992 4
System Administration Commands sacadm(1M)
is made (-g or -G). Then the copy is edited.
Finally, the copy is put in place over theexisting script (-g or -G with -z).
OUTPUT
If successful, sacadm will exit with a status of 0. If
sacadm fails for any reason, it will exit with a nonzero
status. Options that request information will write the information on the standard output. In the condensed format(-L), port monitor information is printed as a sequence of
colon-separated fields; empty fields are indicated by two
successive colons. The standard format (-l) prints a header
identifying the columns, and port monitor information is aligned under the appropriate headings. In this format, an empty field is indicated by a hyphen. The comment characteris #.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 A sample output of the sacadm command.
The following command line adds a port monitor. The port monitor tag is npack; its type is listen; if necessary, it will restart three times before failing; its administrative command is nlsadmin; and the configuration script to be read is in the file script:sacadm -a -p npack -t listen -c /usr/lib/saf/listen npack
-v `nlsadmin -V` -n 3 -z script
Remove a port monitor whose tag is pmtag:sacadm -r -p pmtag
Start the port monitor whose tag is pmtag:sacadm -s -p pmtag
