Starts the System Resource Controller.
srcmstr /usr/sbin/srcmstr [ -r ]
The srcmstr daemon is the System Resource Controller (SRC). The srcmstr daemon spawns and controls subsystems, handles short subsystem status requests, passes requests on to a subsystem, and handles error notification.
The srcmstr daemon is normally started by using an inittab file entry.
-r | Accepts remote requests if the daemon is started with the -r flag. If you start srcmstr without the -r flag, remote requests are ignored.
Note:The srcmstr daemon is typically started from inittab. To add the -r flag, edit /etc/inittab and run init q or reboot. |
Auditing Events: If the auditing subsystem has been properly configured and is enabled, the srcmstr command will generate the following audit record (event) every time the command is executed:
Event | Information |
---|---|
SRC_Start | Lists in an audit log the name of the subsystems being started. |
SRC_Stop | Lists in an audit log the name of the subsystems being stopped. |
See "Setting Up Auditing" in AIX Version 4.3 System Management Guide: Operating System and Devices for more details about how to properly select and group audit events, and how to configure audit event data collection.
/etc/inittab | Specifies stanzas read by the init command. |
/etc/objrepos/SRCsubsys | Specifies the SRC Subsystem Configuration Object Class. |
/etc/objrepos/SRCnotify | Specifies the SRC Notify Method Object Class. |
/etc/hosts.equiv | Specifies that no remote requests will work if the specified host name is not in the /etc/hosts.equiv file. |
/etc/services | Defines the sockets and protocols used for Internet services. |
/dev/SRC | Specifies the AF_UNIX socket file. |
/dev/.SRC-unix | Specifies the location for temporary socket files. |
