The port monitor administrative command: pmadm

pmadm is the administrative command for the lower level of the Service Access Facility hierarchy, that is, for service administration. pmadm performs the functions listed below:

• prints information from the port monitor's administrative file

• adds or removes a service

• enables or disables a service

• installs or replaces a per-service configuration script

• installs, replaces or removes an authentication scheme

Note that in order to identify an instance of a service uniquely, the pmadm command must identify both the service (-s) and the port monitor or port monitors through which the service is available (-p or -t). A port may have only one service associated with it although the same service may be available through more than one port.

pmadm is described on the pmadm(1M) manual page and in ``The port monitor administrative command: pmadm''.
