NAME
pmsignal - send a signal to one or more processes SYNOPSIS
$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmsignal [-a|-l] [-n] [-s signal] [PID ...|name ...] DESCRIPTION
pmsignal provides a cross-platform event signalling mechanism for use with tools from the Performance Co-Pilot toolkit. It can be used to send a named signal (only HUP, USR1, TERM, and KILL are accepted). to one or more processes. The processes are specified using PID or the binary name (with -a option). If a signal is not specified, then the TERM signal will be sent. On Linux and UNIX platforms, pmsignal is a simple wrapper around the kill(1) command. On Windows, the is no direct equivalent to this mechanism, and so an alternate mechanism has been implemented - this is only honoured by PCP tools, however, not all Windows utilities. PCP ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configura- tion file, as described in pcp.conf(5). SEE ALSO
kill(1), killall(1), pcp.conf(5) and pcp.env(5). Performance Co-Pilot PCP PMSIGNAL(1)

NAME
pmhostname - report hostname SYNOPSIS
$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmhostname [hostname] DESCRIPTION
pmhostname reports the name of the host hostname as returned by gethostbyname(3N). If hostname is not specified, then the local host name is retrieved using gethostname(2) and this is than passed to gethostbyname(3N). pmhostname provides a service for shell scripts that mimics the logic formerly used by Performance Co-Pilot applications when trying to determine the official name of a host. PCP applications no longer use DNS-based heuristics, and therefore this command is deprecated. If gethostbyname(3N) fails, the input host name (either hostname or the result from calling gethostname(2)) is reported. PCP ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configura- tion file, as described in pcp.conf(5). SEE ALSO
