NAME
  envconfig - Configures the Environmental Monitoring daemon

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/envconfig -c var=value
  /usr/sbin/envconfig start | stop
  /usr/sbin/envconfig -q

FLAGS
  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.  To detect and notify users of critical conditions, the
  envmond daemon is used.  This utility, envconfig, is used to customize the
  envmond daemon.  This section describes the envconfig flags you can use to
  configure the daemon.

  -c var=value
	    Sets the variables that specify how the system environment is
	    monitored.	These variables are stored in the /etc/rc.config file
	    and are read by the envmond daemon at system startup.  If a
	    variable is not set, the default value of that variable is
	    assumed.

	    ENVMON_CONFIGURED
		Specifies the state of Environmental Monitoring.  If this
		variable is set to zero (0), the Environmental Monitoring
		package is not started during the system boot.	If this
		variable is set to 1, and Environmental Monitoring is
		supported by that platform, it is started during the system
		boot.  The default value is zero (0).

	    ENVMON_GRACE_PERIOD
		Specifies the time (in minutes) that can elapse between the
		detection of a high temperature condition and the shutdown of
		the system.  The default value is 15 minutes.

	    ENVMON_HIGH_THRESH
		Specifies the threshold level that can be encountered before
		the envmond daemon broadcasts a warning and suggested action.

	    ENVMON_MONITOR_PERIOD
		Specifies the frequency (in seconds) between queries of the
		system by the envmond daemon.  The default value is 60
		seconds.

	    ENVMON_USER_SCRIPT
		Specifies the path of a user-defined script that you want to
		the envmond daemon to execute when a high threshold level is
		encountered.  The envmond daemon continues to check the
		environment after the script has executed and proceeds as
		needed should the high threshold levels persist.

		If you set this variable, the envmond daemon directs output
		from the script to /dev/console.  Output is not displayed on
		standard output or written to a file as this is not the
		behavior of the daemon.	 To display on standard output,
		explicitly specify the logger command within the user defined
		script.

  start | stop
	    Turns the envmond daemon on or off after system startup.

  -q	    Displays the values of ENVMON_CONFIGURED, ENVMON_GRACE_PERIOD,
	    ENVMON_HIGH_THRESH, ENVMON_MONITOR_PERIOD and ENVMON_USER_SCRIPT
	    as specified in the /etc/rc.config file.  If a specified entry is
	    not found, the environmental variable is not displayed.

DESCRIPTION
  The envconfig utility is used to customize the envmond daemon.  You must
  have root privileges to use this utility.  Using this utility, you can:

    ·  Specify whether or not Environmental Monitoring is turned on or off at
       system startup.

    ·  Specify how much time can elapse between the envmond daemon
       encountering a critical condition and the daemon initiating an orderly
       shutdown of the system.

    ·  Specify how frequently the envmond daemon queries the system for
       information.

    ·  Start and stop the envmond after Environmental Monitoring has been
       turned on at system startup.

    ·  Display the settings of the environment variables as specified in the
       /etc/rc.config file.

EXAMPLES
  In the following example the system shuts down in 10 minutes if the
  temperature does not fall below the critical threshold.

       /usr/sbin/envconfig -c ENVMON_GRACE_PERIOD=10

FILES
  /etc/rc.config
      A database that contains the values of the environment monitoring
      variables.
