Command Description
Table 1-2 Event Manager Administrative Utilities
Command Description
evmchmgr The Event Manager daemon automatically
starts the channel manager. It executes the
periodic functions defined for any channel.
evmd The daemon receives events from posting
clients and distributes them to subscribing
clients, that is, clients that have indicated they
want to receive the events.
The daemon is a critical system facility that
starts automatically at system boot. You must
not terminate the daemon.
The Essential Services Monitor (ESM)
daemon, esmd, maintains the availability of
essential system daemons, including evmd, by
automatically restarting them. For
information about ESM daemon, see the esmd
(1M) manpage.
