rmcctrl Command

Purpose

Manages the Resource Monitoring and Control (RMC) subsystem

Syntax

rmcctrl { -a | -A | -d | -h | -k | -s }

The rmcctrl command controls the operation of the Resource Monitoring and Control (RMC) subsystem. The subsystem is under the control of the System Resource Controller (SRC) with a subsystem name of ctrmc and a subsystem group name of rsct. The RMC subsystem definition is added to the subsystem object class and then started when RSCT is installed. In addition, an entry is made in the /etc/inittab file so that the RMC subsystem is automatically started at system boot.

Note: While the RMC subsystem can be stopped and started by using the stopsrc and startsrc commands, it is recommended that the rmcctrl command be used to perform these functions.

Flags

-a	Adds the RMC subsystem to the subsystem object class and places an entry at the end of the /etc/inittab file.
-A	Adds and starts the RMC subsystem.
-d	Deletes the RMC subsystem from the subsystem object class and removes the RMC entry from the /etc/inittab file.
-h	Displays the command usage message.
-k	Stops the RMC subsystem
-s	Starts the RMC subsystem.

Exit Status

0	Command has run successfully.
1	Command was not successful.
