evmreload(8)


NAME

  evmreload - Reload Event Manager configuration files


SYNOPSIS

  /usr/sbin/evmreload [-d] [-a] [-c] [-l] [-n]


OPTIONS

  -c  Reconfigures the EVM channel manager.

  -d  Reconfigures the EVM daemon.

  -l  Reconfigures the EVM logger.

  -n  Syntax checks the event template files and reports errors, but does not
      make any changes effective.

  -a  If a daemon reconfiguration is requested, the reconfiguration request
      will be sent even if there are errors in any template file. If errors
      exist, there is no guarantee that the new configuration will be
      accepted.


OPERANDS

  None


DESCRIPTION

  The evmreload command posts control events that instruct EVM resident
  components to reload their configuration files. It should be run to cause
  EVM to begin using the new configuration any time a configuration file has
  been changed.

  If no options are specified, the daemon, the channel manager, and the
  logger all reload their configurations.

  The daemon should be reconfigured any time its configuration file or event
  template database has changed. The logger should be reconfigured anytime
  its configuration has changed. The channel manager should be reconfigured
  anytime its configuration has changed.

  Resident EVM components also reload their configuration files on receipt of
  a SIGHUP signal.

  If an activity monitor is specified in the EVM daemon configuration file,
  all counts and timers associated with the monitor are reset.


NOTES

  The evmreload command uses the evminfo -verify command to check for errors
  in configuration files before sending a reload request to EVM. If errors
  are found, they are reported to stderr and no reconfiguration request is
  sent. This check does not find all possible errors, however, so you should
  take care to check for errors reported by the EVM components themselves. To
  do this, run the following command:

       evmget -A -f '[name *.evm] & [age < 5m]' -t '@timestamp @@'


RESTRICTIONS

  You must be user root to run this command.


EXAMPLES

   1.  The following command will cause the EVM daemon to reconfigure itself:
	    /usr/sbin/evmreload -d

   2.  The following command will cause the EVM logger to reconfigure itself:
	    /usr/sbin/evmreload -l

   3.  The following command will cause the EVM channel manager to
       reconfigure itself:
	    /usr/sbin/evmreload -c

   4.  To syntax check the daemon configuration file without any
       reconfiguration actually occurring, enter the following command:
	    /usr/sbin/evmreload -n

   5.  To reconfigure both the EVM daemon and the EVM logger, enter the
       following command:
	    /usr/sbin/evmreload -d -l

   6.  To reconfigure the EVM daemon, the EVM logger, and the EVM channel
       manager, enter the following command:
	    /usr/sbin/evmreload

   7.  The following command will reconfigure the EVM daemon, the EVM logger,
       and the EVM channel manager even if there are errors in the template
       file.
	    /usr/sbin/evmreload -a


EXIT STATUS

  The following exit values are returned:

  0   Successful completion.

  not 0
