ZMASTERD - Daemon Monitoring Feature
Special Assumptions
Chapter 9 191
Special Assumptions
Zmasterd makes special assumptions about zmlog and zmon, and takes
special action with these daemons.
• Zmasterd will always bring up zmlog. If there is no zmasterd_list file,
or if there is a file but zmlog is not in it, zmasterd will still start
zmlog with no runstring parameters. This is so that the fact that
zmasterd was started will always be recorded. (It is suggested that
zmlog be placed in the zmasterd_list for the sake of clarity.)
• Zmasterd can only monitor daemons that zmasterd itself starts.
• Zmasterd will only start the daemons given in the start statements
in zmasterd_list if zmon is also listed in a start statement (or the cold
<file> parameters are given in the command line) and if zmon is
started successfully.
