Configuring HP SMH
The HP SMH configuration is based on environment variables that are set by the
/opt/hpsmh/lbin/envvars and /opt/hpsmh/conf/timeout.conf scripts. To change the default
configuration, you can modify the scripts to properly set the value of the following variables.
ScriptDescriptionVariable
/opt/hpsmh/lbin/envvarsPoints to the directory where JDK is
installed.
JAVA_HOME
/opt/hpsmh/conf/timeout.confDefines the SMH timeout in minutes. If it is
not defined or equal to 0 (zero), then HP
SMH is started without timeout. If present,
then HP SMH is stopped after this time
period has elapsed without any
user-activity.
TIMEOUT_SMH
/opt/hpsmh/conf/timeout.confDefines the Tomcat timeout in minutes. If it
is not defined or equal to 0 (zero), then
Tomcat is started without timeout. In this
case, Tomcat is stopped only when HP
SMH is stopped. If present, Tomcat is
stopped after this time period has elapsed
without any request to a Java web
application. By default, the timeout for the
HP-UX Tomcat-based Servlet Engine is 20
minutes and the timeout for the HP-UX
Apache-based Web Server is 30 minutes.

Configuring the startup mode
HP SMH supports three startup modes:
Autostart URL
This mode is the default setting for startup. You can start HP SMH by using a Web browser and
navigating to http://hostname:2301/. If autostart is configured as the default, there is a daemon
listening on http://hostname:2301 only (nothing is listening on port 2381 so that port will fail). When
it contacts port 2301 (http), then the HP-UX Apache-based Web Server is started on port 2381 (https)
and the page is automatically redirected.
Automatic startup on boot
This mode starts HP SMH automatically during system initialization. If the automatic startup on boot
start mode is enabled and the system was rebooted using this configuration, you can access HP SMH
by using a Web browser and navigating to https://hostname:2381/. Daemons are listening on
both http://hostname:2301/ and https://hostname:2381/. If you use port 2301 (http), then the
HP-UX Apache-based Web Server is started on port 2381 (https) and the page is automatically
redirected.
NOTE For autostart URL and automatic startup on boot, you can use http://hostname:2301, as it
works in both cases. This is possible on an HP-UX system only.
Manual startup
You can start HP SMH from the HP-UX command line.
Use the /opt/hpsmh/bin/smhstartconfig script to configure the startup mode of the HP SMH
server and the Tomcat instance that HP SMH uses.
Syntax: smhstartconfig [ -a <on|off> -b <on|off> ] [ -t <on|off> ]
Options:
-a <on|off> Enable/disable the autostart URL mode.
-b <on|off> Enable/disable the automatic startup on boot mode.
-t <on|off> Set the Tomcat startup mode where:
on Start Tomcat when HP SMH starts.
