Administering the listen port monitor

Adding a service

To add a new service to a listener, use the following command:

pmadm -a -p pmtag -s svctag [-i id ] [ -S "scheme"] \
-m "`nlsadmin options`" -v `nlsadmin -V` [-y "comment"]

The following example adds a new service, ``tty'', to a listener with pmtag ``tcp'' running as a port monitor under the SAF:

pmadm -a -p tcp -s tty -i -S login \
-m "`nlsadmin -c /usr/bin/shserv \
-p ntty,tirdwr,ldterm \
-A \\\x00020ACF810b8b6e0000000000000000`" \
-v `nlsadmin -V` -y "Server-side for cu"

CAUTION: The same address cannot be monitored by more than one listen port monitor at any given time. The first attempt to listen on an address will bind successfully; subsequent attempts will fail to bind. If both static and dynamic addresses are monitored by more than one listener, the static addresses are bound first, then the dynamic addresses. Mixing multiple listeners--each of which has static and dynamic addresses specified--may result in unpredictable behavior.

See pmadm(1M) and nlsadmin(1M) for a full description of the pmadm command line options.
