Obtaining Information About a Server
•
The following environment variable allows the $ZTC2 process to be used as the
inetd transport-provider process:
export SOCKET_TRANSPORT_NAME=\$ZTC2
You start the portmap program from a Guardian TACL prompt or using the OSS shell
gtacl utility.
Information about starting the BIND 9 domain name server named and the lightweight
resolver server lwresd can be found in the DNS Configuration and Management
Manual and the dnssec_named(8), named(8)and lwresd(8) reference pages
online.
Obtaining Information About a Server

•
Whether a server is running in the Guardian environment, as described in

Determining Whether a Server Is Running
You can determine whether the following servers are running:
•
A server used by the OSS environment but not administered through the OSS
Monitor, as described in Checking Servers in the Guardian Environment That Are
Not Administered Through the OSS Monitor on page 4-39.
•
A server used by the OSS environment and administered through the OSS
Monitor, as described in Checking Servers That Are Administered Through the
OSS Monitor on page 4-41.
•
A server running in the OSS environment and not administered through an SCF
interface, as described in Checking Servers That Run in the OSS Environment on
page 4-41.
Checking Servers in the Guardian Environment That Are Not
Administered Through the OSS Monitor
To determine whether such a server is running, you use the basic SCF LISTDEV
command. (There is no OSS Monitor command to provide this information.)
