Adding/modifying an application’s group assignment

To add or modify an application’s PRM group assignment, follow these

steps:

Step 1. Open the desired conﬁguration ﬁle in a text editor.

Step 2. Using the syntax shown below:

APPLICATION::::GROUP[,ALT_NAME[,...,ALT_NAME]]

and explained in the section “Application record syntax” on page 128, add

or modify an application record as follows:

a. Specify the full pathname of the application.

b. Specify the group where the application should run.

c. Optionally, add or modify alternate names for the application.

Step 3. Save the ﬁle and exit your editor.

Step 4. Load the conﬁguration using one of the following commands:

To initialize, moving user processes to the owners’ initial groups and

moving applications to their assigned groups, use the command:

# prmconfig -i [-f configfile] {-s | -c}

To keep the existing assignments of users, processes, and groups, use the

command:

# prmconfig -k [-f configfile] {-s | -c}

Use the -f configfile option to specify a ﬁle other than the default

/etc/prmconf. The -s option displays warnings regarding the

conﬁguration ﬁle. (The -c option displays a subset of the -s warnings.)

If you change an application’s group, using prmconfig -i resets all

instances of the application and its child processes to run in the newly

assigned group.
