The Event Manager starts automatically at system startup and
stops when the system is shut down.
The Essential Services Monitor (ESM) daemon, esmd, maintains the availability of essential system
daemons, including the daemons, by automatically restarting them.
For more information about ESM daemon, see the esmd(1M) manpage.
To start the Event Manager and the ESM daemon, complete the following
steps:
Enter the following command at the HP-UX
prompt to start the Event Manager.
Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt to restore
the operation of the ESM daemon.
To stop the Event Manager, it is necessary to acquire the
process identifier of the ESM daemon. To stop the Event Manager,
complete the following steps:
Acquire the process identifier (PID) of the
ESM daemon by entering the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# ps -aef | grep esmd | grep -v grep 1. root 48 1 0.0 Apr 22 ?? 0:00.09 /usr/sbin/esmd |
In this example, the PID is 48.
Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt to stop
the ESM daemon.
Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt to stop
