NAME
evmreload - reload Event Manager configuration files
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/evmreload
[-d][-a
][-c][-l][-n]
DESCRIPTION
The
evmreload command posts control events that instruct EVM resident components to reload their
configuration files. Use the evmreload
command to cause EVM to begin using the new configuration at
any time that a configuration file has been changed.
If no options are specified, the daemon, the channel manager, and the logger all reload their
configurations.
Reconfigure the daemon at any time that its configuration file or that an event template database has
changed. Reconfigure the logger at any time that its configuration file has changed. Reconfigure the
channel manager at any time that its configuration file has changed.
Resident EVM components also reload their configuration files on receipt of a
SIGHUP signal.
If an activity monitor is specified in the EVM daemon configuration file, all counts and timers associated
with the monitor are reset.
Options
-c Reconfigures the EVM channel manager.
-d Reconfigures the EVM daemon.
-l Reconfigures the EVM logger.
-n Syntax checks the event template files and reports errors, but does not make any changes
effective.
-a If a daemon reconfiguration is requested, the reconfiguration request is sent even if there are
errors in any template file. If errors exist in the template file, there is no guarantee that the
new configuration is accepted.
Notes
The
evmreload command uses the evminfo -verify command to check for errors in configuration
files before sending a reload request to EVM. If errors are found, they are reported to
stderr and no
reconfiguration request is sent. This check does not find all possible errors, however, so be sure to check
for errors reported by the EVM components themselves. To do this, run the following command:
evmget -A -f ’[name *.evm] & [age < 5m]’ -t ’@timestamp @@’
RETURN VALUES
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
not 0 An error occurred.
EXAMPLES
• The following command causes the EVM daemon to reconfigure itself.
/usr/sbin/evmreload -d
• The following command causes the EVM logger to reconfigure itself.
/usr/sbin/evmreload -l
• The following command causes the EVM channel manager to reconfigure itself.
/usr/sbin/evmreload -c
• The following command causes a syntax check of the daemon configuration file without any
reconfiguration actually occurring.
/usr/sbin/evmreload -n
• The following command reconfigures both the EVM daemon and the EVM logger.
