Znyx Networks bh5700 manual Zlmd − monitor link changes or hot swap events

zlmd

NAME

zlmd − monitor link changes or hot swap events.

SYNOPSIS

zlmd [-h <hostname>] [-b] [-d <level>] {-f <file>} <configuration>

DESCRIPTION

The zlmd application is intended to run as a daemon, waiting for a configured event to occur and then running the program configured for that event. The events monitored are changes in the link status of any of the ports of the switch, the start of removal of the switch from the back plane, or the cancellation of the removal before it actually takes place. The program can be a shell script that initiates appropriate actions to respond to the event.

OPTIONS

-h <host_name> Connect to remote host <host_name> -b Do not background the zlmd process.

-d <level> Set debug level to <level>.

{-f <configuration_file>} <configuration>

Read configuration from <file>. If file is a ‘+’, configuration is read from stdin. Without the -f option, a single line of input can precede the last flag. (i.e. <Configuration>)

CONFIGURATION SYNTAX

zlmd takes configuration data from standard input or from a file with the -foption. In either case, the configuration syntax is the same. The zlmd configuration data consists of a list of semicolon-delimited statements. Each statement specifies an event to monitor followed by a response action.

Configuration commands:

<port-list> = <program>

Run <program> when a fault occurs or clears on a port.

hotswap = <program>

Run <program> when a hot-swap extraction or insertion event occurs.
