NOTE: You should periodically clear out or truncate these log files. If you want cron to do the cleanup for you, create cron jobs by using the crontab(1) command. Refer to the crontab(1) manual page for more information.
The following sections provide a quick reference to the variables used in SAF commands; tasks performed with the sacadm and pmadm commands; and options for the sacadm, pmadm, ttyadm, and nlsadmin commands. Refer to Chapter 10 for step-by-step instructions on how to use the SAF commands to set up modems and terminals. Refer to Chapter 11 for step-by-step instructions on how to use the SAF commands to set up printers.
Table 9-5 describes the variables used with the SAF commands.
| Variable | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| pmtag | zsmon | The name of a specific instance of a port monitor. |
| svctag | b | The name of the port in the /dev/term directory. |
| dev-path | /dev/term/b | The full name of the tty port device file. |
| ttylabel | 2400H | The baud rate and line discipline from the /etc/ttydefs file. |
| type | ventel | The type of the modem, as specified in the /etc/uucp/Devices file. |
Table 9-6 provides a task-oriented quick reference to the tasks you perform using the sacadm command.
| Task | Command Syntax |
|---|---|
| Add a port monitor | sacadm -a -p pmtag -t ttymon -c /usr/lib/saf/ttymon -v `ttyadm -V` -y "comment" |
| Disable a port monitor | sacadm -d -p pmtag |
| Enable a port monitor | sacadm -e -p pmtag |
| Kill a port monitor | sacadm -k -p pmtag |
| List status information for a port monitor | sacadm -l -p pmtag |
| Remove a port monitor | sacadm -r -p pmtag |
| Start a port monitor | sacadm -s -p pmtag |
| Add a listen port monitor | sacadm -a -p pmtag -t listen -c /usr/lib/saf/listen -v `ttyadm -V` -y "comment" |
Table 9-7 describes the options to the sacadm command.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| a | Add a port monitor. |
| p | Specify an identifying port monitor tag (pmtag) for the port monitor. |
| t | Specify the type of the port monitor--either ttymon or listen. |
| c | Specify the commands used to start a port monitor. |
| v | Specify the version number of the port monitor. Use ttyadm -V to find out the version number to use, or use `ttyadm -V` as an argument to the -v option. |
| f | Specify one or both flags. The d flag specifies that the port monitor is not enabled. The x flag specifies that the port monitor is not started. |
