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:

  1. Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt to start the Event Manager.

    	 		 	 	 	 	# /usr/sbin/evmstart
  2. Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt to restore the operation of the ESM daemon.

    	 	 	 	 	 	 # kill -CONT PID

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:

  1. 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.

  2. Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt to stop the ESM daemon.

     	 	 	# kill -STOP PID
  3. Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt to stop the Event Manager.

    			# /usr/sbin/evmstop
NOTE: You must use the same PID that you used to stop ESM daemon.

You do not need to stop and start Event Manager to change the configuration. You can change the configuration, and run the evmreload command. For more information, see the evmreload(1M) manpage.
