NAME
  envmond - Environmental Monitoring daemon

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/envmond

DESCRIPTION
  Environmental Monitoring provides a means of detecting system threshold
  conditions, that if exceeded, could result in a loss of data or damage to
  the system itself.  Using the envmond daemon, thresholds levels can be
  checked and corrective action can ensue before any damage occurs.

  The envmond daemon performs the following:

    ·  Queries the system for exceeded threshold levels.

    ·  Broadcasts a message to users warning of high threshold conditions or
       fan failure, and suggests corrective action.

    ·  Sends a message to users when a high temperature condition has been
       resolved.

    ·  Notifies all users that an orderly shutdown is to be initiated if
       recovery is not possible.

  To enable Environmental Monitoring, the envmond daemon must be started
  during the system boot, but after the eSNMP and Server System MIB agents
  have started.	 Before starting Environmental Monitoring, a system check is
  performed.  If the system hardware does not support Environmental
  Monitoring, the envmond daemon and Server System MIB are not started.

  You can customize, start, and stop the envmond daemon using the envconfig
  utility.  For more information, see the envconfig reference page.

FILES
  /etc/rc.config
      A database that contains the values of the Environmental Monitoring
      variables.
