Administering port services

Administering port services

The top level of the Service Access Facility (SAF) is concerned with port monitor administration and is discussed in ``Administering port monitors''. The lower service administration level has two distinct administrative functions:

Administration of the port itself using commands that are specific to the type of port monitor. The administration commands for the ttymon and listen port monitors are ttyadm(1M) and nlsadmin(1M) respectively.
Administration of the service associated with a port. By definition, there is one and only one service associated with a port. All ports on the system are peers and their services are administered through the same command interface, the SAF's administrative command pmadm(1M).
