zlmd
NAME
zlmd − monitor link changes or hot swap events.
SYNOPSIS
zlmd [-h <hostname>] [-b] [-d <level>] {-f <file>} |
<configuration>
DESCRIPTION
The zlmd application is intended to run as a daemon, waiting for a configured event to occur and
then running the program configured for that event. The events monitored are changes in the link
status of any of the ports of the switch, the start of removal of the switch from the back plane, or
the cancellation of the removal before it actually takes place. The program can be a shell script
that initiates appropriate actions to respond to the event.
OPTIONS
-h <host_name> Connect to remote host <host_name>
-b Do not background the zlmd process.
-d <level> Set debug level to <level>.
{-f <configuration_file>} | <configuration>
Read configuration from <file>. If file is a ‘+’,
configuration is read from stdin. Without the -f option, a
single line of input can precede the last flag. (i.e.
<Configuration>)
CONFIGURATION SYNTAX
zlmd takes configuration data from standard input or from a file with the -f option. In either
case, the configuration syntax is the same. The zlmd configuration data consists of a list of
semicolon-delimited statements. Each statement specifies an event to monitor followed by a
response action.
Configuration commands:
<port-list> = <program>
Run <program> when a fault occurs or clears on a port.
hotswap = <program>
Run <program> when a hot-swap extraction or insertion event
occurs.
