pmconfig - Performance Co-Pilot configuration parameters
$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmconfig [
-alLs?] [
name ...]
pmconfig displays the values for some or all configuration parameters of
the local Performance Co-Pilot toolkit installation.
The available command line options are:
-
-a, --all
- Reports all configuration parameters in the default
format.
-
-l, --list
- Synonym for the -a option, reports the same
(default) format.
-
-L, --library
- This option changes the default reporting mode so that the
capabilities of the PCP library are reported, rather than the PCP
environment.
-
-s, --shell
- An output format suitable for sourcing in shell scripts
which ensures configuration information is quoted and preceded by an
export statement. When not reporting the library capabilities, this mode
will produce a statement that does not override an existing setting in the
environment for PCP configuration variables.
-
-?, --help
- Display usage message and exit.
In the default operating mode,
pmconfig is often used in conjunction with
the
$PCP_DIR environment variable to setup scripts running under the
Windows operating system, where the filesystem hierarchy differs greatly to
the of Linux/UNIX-based operating systems.
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 configuration
file, as described in
pcp.conf(5).
pmGetConfig(3),
pcp.conf(5) and
pcp.env(5).
