NAME

cfgmgr − Configuration manager daemon

SYNOPSIS

cfgmgr [-c database] [-d -f -l -v]

FLAGS

-c databaseSpecifies the configuration database.  The /etc/sysconfigtab file is the default database. 

-dProduces debugging messages. 

-fSpecifies that the cfgmgr daemon should not detach from the current controlling tty (session). 

-lLoads the modules specified in the automatic entry in the /etc/sysconfigtab file as part of the cfgmgr daemon initialization. 

-vProduces detailed informational messages. 

DESCRIPTION

The cfgmgr configuration manager daemon works with the kernel load server (kloadsrv) daemon to manage the subsystems that can be configured (or loaded) dynamically.  The cfgmgr daemon is usually started during system startup.  When the cfgmgr daemon is started and the -l flag is specified, the daemon configures all the subsystems specified in the automatic entry in the configuration database.  The cfgmgr daemon then listens on a communications socket for command requests from the sysconfig command.  When the cfgmgr daemon receives a SIGHUP signal, it reads the configuration database again. 

The cfgmgr daemon logs operational output information and error messages to the syslogd daemon.  The amount of operational information produced by the cfgmgr can be controlled by the -d and -v flags. 

The cfgmgr daemon consists of a set of functions that load the various dynamic subsystems.  The cfgmgr also consists of subsystem-specific functions, which are referred to as methods.  For example, there is a subsystem-specific method for loadable device drivers.
