Ovstart/Ovstop

[Simon Huang <SIMON.HUANG@CHASE.COM>]

Hi,

We are currently using Netview/Aix 4, and it appears that only root may
issue ovstart/ovstop.  In our shop, production root access must be
requested thru data security and the password is changed after each use.
This could be a problem to automate Netview cleanup/backup (ie ovstop
netmon-ovtopofix-ovstart netmon).

There was some discussions on this subject indicated this problem (using
root to issue ov commands) may be solved by migrating to Netview V5.  Can
someone clarify how is V5 getting around this problem?

Regards

Simon
