The confsrc command configures a subsystem, a group of subsystems, or a subserver.
confsrc [[-R] -h Host] [-p SubsystemPID] [-q] [-Q] [-u UserID] [-U Password] -s Subsystem -a ConfigString
The confsrc command sends a request to the System Resource Controller (SRC) to configure a subsystem. When a request to configure the subserver is passed to the SRC and the subsystem to which the subserver belongs is not active, the SRC starts the subsystem and transmits the request to the subsystem.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| -a ConfigString | Specifies a string containing the configuration information. This string is passed from the command line and appended to the command-line arguments from the subsystem object class. If the specified string exceeds 1200 characters, the command is unsuccessful. The command argument is passed by the SRC to the subsystem according to the rules used by the shell. Quoted strings are passed as a single argument, and blanks outside a quoted string delimit an argument. Single and double quotes can be used in the string. |
| -h Host | Specifies the foreign host on which the configure action is requested. The local user must be running as root. The remote system must be configured to accept remote SRC requests by starting the srcmstr daemon (/etc/inittab) with the -r flag and configuring the /etc/hosts.equiv orrhosts file to allow remote requests. |
| -p SubsystemPID | Specifies an instance of the subsystem to which the configure request is passed. |
| -q | Specifies the quiet mode of operation with minimum local output. |
| -Q | Specifies the quiet mode of operation with suppressed output. |
| -R | Uses TCP for remote connections. Note: This flag is active
only when the -h flag is used.
|
| -s Subsystem | Specifies the subsystem to be started. The specified Subsystem can be the actual subsystem name or the synonym name for the subsystem. The command is unsuccessful if the specified Subsystem is not contained in the subsystem object class. |
| -u UserID | Specifies the user ID used on the remote host. Note: This
flag is active only when the -h flag is used.
|
| -U Password | Specifies the password for the user ID. Note: This flag is
active only when the -u flag is used.
