Starting and Stopping Event Manager
The Event Manager starts automatically at system startup and stops
when the system is shut down.
The Essential Services Monitor (ESM) daemon, esmd, maintains the
availability of essential system daemons, including the daemons, by
automatically restarting them. For more information about ESM
daemon, see the esmd (1M) manpage.
To start the Event Manager and the ESM daemon, complete the
following steps:
Step 1. Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt to start the Event
Manager.
# /usr/sbin/evmstart
Step 2. Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt to restore the
operation of the ESM daemon.
# kill -CONT PID
To stop the Event Manager, it is necessary to acquire the process
identifier of the ESM daemon. To stop the Event Manager, complete the
following steps:
Step 1. Acquire the process identifier (PID) of the ESM daemon by entering the
following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# ps -aef | grep esmd | grep -v grep
1. root 48 1 0.0 Apr 22 ?? 0:00.09 /usr/sbin/esmd
In this example, the PID is 48.
Step 2. Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt to stop the ESM
daemon.
# kill -STOP PID
Step 3. Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt to stop the Event
Manager.
# /usr/sbin/evmstop
