DESCRIPTION
pmadm is the administrative command for the lower level of the Service
Access Facility hierarchy, that is, for service administration. A port
may have only one service associated with it although the same service
may be available through more than one port. In order to uniquely
identify an instance of a service the pmadm command must identify both
the port monitor or port monitors through which the service is available
(-p or -t) and the service (-s). See the option descriptions below.
pmadm performs the following functions:
- add or remove a service
- enable or disable a service
- install or replace a per-service configuration script
- print requested service information
Any user on the system may invoke pmadm to request service status (-l or
-L) or to print per-service configuration scripts (-g without the -z
option). pmadm with other options may be executed only by a privileged
user.
The options have the following meanings:
-a Add a service. pmadm adds an entry for the new service to the port
monitor's administrative file. Because of the complexity of the
options and arguments that follow the -a option, it may be
convenient to use a command script or the menu system to add
services. If you use the menu system, enter sysadm ports, then
choose the portservices option.
-d Disable a service. Add x to the flag field in the entry for the
service svctag in the port monitor's administrative file. This is
the entry used by port monitor pmtag. See the -f option, below, for
a description of the flags available.
-e Enable a service. Remove x from the flag field in the entry for the
service svctag in the port monitor administrative file. This is the
entry used by port monitor pmtag. See the -f option, below, for a
description of the flags available.

-f xu
The -f option specifies one or both of the following two flags which
are then included in the flag field of the entry for the new service
in the port monitor's administrative file. If the -f option is not
included, no flags are set and the default conditions prevail. By
default, a new service is enabled and no utmp entry is created for
it. A -f option without a following argument is illegal.
x Do not enable the service svctag available through
port monitor pmtag.
u Create a utmp entry for service svctag available through
port monitor pmtag.
-g Print, install, or replace a per-service configuration script. The
-g option with a -p option and a -s option prints the per-service
configuration script for service svctag available through port
monitor pmtag. The -g option with a -p option, a -s option, and a
-z option installs the per-service configuration script contained in
the file script as the per-service configuration script for service
svctag available through port monitor pmtag. The -g option with a
-s option, a -t option, and a -z option installs the file script as
the per-service configuration script for service svctag available
through any port monitor of type type. Other combinations of
options with -g are invalid.
-i id
id is the identity that is to be assigned to service svctag when it
is started. id must be an entry in /etc/passwd.
-l The -l option requests service information. Used by itself and with
the options described below it provides a filter for extracting
information in several different groupings.
-l By itself, the -l option lists all services on the system.
-l -p pmtag
Lists all services available through port monitor pmtag.
-l -s svctag
Lists all services with tag svctag.
-l -p pmtag -s svctag
Lists service svctag.
-l -t type
Lists all services available through port monitors of type
type.
-l -t type -s svctag
Lists all services with tag svctag available through a port
monitor of type type.

Other combinations of options with -l are invalid.
-L The -L option is identical to the -l option except that output is
printed in a condensed format.
-m pmspecific
pmspecific is the port monitor-specific portion of the port monitor
administrative file entry for the service.
-p pmtag
Specifies the tag associated with the port monitor through which a
service (specified as -s svctag) is available.
-r Remove a service. When pmadm removes a service, the entry for the
service is removed from the port monitor's administrative file.
-s svctag
Specifies the service tag associated with a given service. The
service tag is assigned by the system administrator and is part of
the entry for the service in the port monitor's administrative file.
-t type
Specifies the the port monitor type.
-v ver
Specifies the version number of the port monitor administrative
file. The version number may be given as
-v `pmspec -V`
where pmspec is the special administrative command for port monitor
pmtag. This special command is ttyadm for ttymon and nlsadmin for
listen. The version stamp of the port monitor is known by the
command and is returned when pmspec is invoked with a -V option.
-y comment
Associate comment with the service entry in the port monitor
administrative file.
-z script
Used with the -g option to specify the name of the file that
contains the per-service configuration script. Modifying a
configuration script is a three-step procedure. First a copy of the
existing script is made (-g alone). Then the copy is edited.
Finally, the copy is put in place over the existing script (-g with
-z).
OUTPUT
If successful, pmadm will exit with a status of 0. If it fails for any
reason, it will exit with a nonzero status.
Options that request information write the requested information to the
standard output. A request for information using the -l option prints
column headers and aligns the information under the appropriate headings.

In this format, a missing field is indicated by a hyphen. A request for
information in the condensed format using the -L option prints the
information in colon-separated fields; missing fields are indicated by
two successive colons. # is the comment character.
EXAMPLES
Add a service to a port monitor with tag pmtag. Give the service the tag
svctag. Port monitor-specific information is generated by specpm. The
service defined by svctag will be invoked with identity root.
pmadm -a -p pmtag -s svctag -i root -m `specpm -a arg1 -b arg2` \
-v `specpm -V`
Add a service with service tag svctag, identity guest, and port monitor-
specific information generated by specpm to all port monitors of type
type:
pmadm -a -s svctag -i guest -t type -m `specpm -a arg1 -b arg2` \
-v `specpm -V`
Remove the service svctag from port monitor pmtag:
pmadm -r -p pmtag -s svctag
Enable the service svctag available through port monitor pmtag:
pmadm -e -p pmtag -s svctag
Disable the service svctag available through port monitor pmtag:
pmadm -d -p pmtag -s svctag
List status information for all services:
pmadm -l
List status information for all services available through the port
monitor with tag ports:
pmadm -l -p ports
List the same information in condensed format:
pmadm -L -p ports
List status information for all services available through port monitors
of type listen:
pmadm -l -t listen
Print the per-service configuration script associated with the service
svctag available through port monitor pmtag:
pmadm -g -p pmtag -s svctag
