The full form of SRC is System Resource Controller. By Using SRC we can manage the demons, SRC commands are:
#startsrc ---> To start the Deamons/Services
#stopsrc ---> To stop the Deamon/Services
#lssrc ---> To display the Deamon/Services status.
Demons/Deamons or Services:
Demon is a process or protocal, it is running on the background of the server, the Demons or managed by the SRC commands such as (startsrc, stopsrc and lssrc). We have several deamons on Aix/Unix.
Example:
Network Deamons
Installation Deamon
Error demon
Telenet/SSH demons
NFS Demons
lssrc:
By using lssrc command we can list demons status.
#lssrc -a --> To list the all demons in the system with their status.
#lssrc -g <groupname> --> To display the group of deamons with their status.
#lssrc -g nfs --> To display all NFS group deamons status.
#lssrc -s <Demon> --> To display the single deamon status, or particular demon status.
#lssrc -s biod,
stopsrc:
By using stopsrc we can stop the deamons or services.
#stopsrc -g <groupname> --> To stop the group of deamons at a time.
#stopsrc -s <Deamon> --> To stop the single demon.
startsrc:
By startsrc we can start the Deamons.
#startsrc -g <groupname> --> To start the group of deamons at a time.
#startsrc -s <deamon> --> To start the single demon.
Restart the Deamons:
If we need any deamon restart, we have to stop the deamon and start it.
#refresh -s <demon> --> To refresh the demon
Note:
1) All Deamons are presented on /etc/services file or /etc/inetd.conf configuration files.
2) If any demons are commented (#) on above configuration files, the demons will not work.
3) Except errdemon, all demons are managed by SRC commands.
