EMSCCTRL—Control Collector Utility

The EMSCCTRL utility lets you interactively manage the operation of the primary and

alternate collectors and the operation of the compatibility distributor.

EMSCCTRL supports a single input line from the TACL RUN command line. By

supplying one or more parameters, you select the operational characteristics of the

collector. EMSCCTRL translates the human-readable RUN parameters into a

CONTROL command (or DELETE FILTER or ADD FILTER command), sends the

command to the specified collector, and displays the response from that collector.

For information about the CONTROL, DELETE FILTER, and ADD FILTER command

messages that performs similar operations, see Collector Command Descriptions on

page 19-29.

You must have super-group privileges to use EMSCCTRL to manage the primary

collector. To manage an alternate collector, you must have super-group privileges or be

the user who started the alternate collector.

For a complete description of collector attributes, see Primary Collector Log Files on

page 12-3 and Alternate Collector Log Files on page 12-4.

The format of the EMSCCTRL RUN command is:

If you omit one of the options that follows the collector name on a particular

EMSCCTRL run, the corresponding attribute remains unchanged.

run-options

are any of the run options described in the TACL Reference Manual. Separate the

option names by commas.

HELP

displays a brief syntax description of EMSCCTRL. Omitting the collector name

and all collector options is equivalent to HELP.

col-name

is the name of the primary collector ($0) or alternate collector on the local

system. Use $0, not $Z0, to control either the primary collector or the

compatibility distributor associated with the primary collector.

acol-name

is the name of an alternate collector on the local system. If acol-name STOP

is specified, a shutdown of the named alternate collector is initiated.
