Syntax
pmlocald - v | [-s] [-e <filename>] [-m <polserverspec>] | -z on|off [:<pid>]
Description
The Privilege Manager for Unix local daemon (pmlocald) runs programs when instructed to do so by the appropriate policy server daemon. pmlocald is started from pmserviced.
Unless the -m option is used, it first checks the /etc/opt/quest/qpm4u/pm.settings file to determine the policy server daemons from which it is allowed to accept requests. If the request is legitimate, it then runs and manages the program.
Options
pmlocald has the following options.
Option | Description |
---|---|
-e <filename> |
Sends any errors to the specified file; applies only to local daemon errors. |
-m <polserverspec> |
Specifies the policy server daemon from which requests are accepted. polserverspec is either a host name, or a netgroup name preceded by a + or a - (+ includes the netgroup, - excludes it). You can specify polserverspec more than once. If you use the -m option, it does not consult masterhost setting in the /etc/opt/quest/qpm4u/pm.settings file. |
-s |
Sends any errors generated to syslog. |
-v |
Displays the version number of Privilege Manager for Unix and exits. |
-z |
Enables or disables tracing for this program and optionally for a currently running process. Before using this option, see Enabling program-level tracing. |
