Re: [nv-l] Change TEC forwarding via command line?

nvserverd does not have to be bounced. 
You can stop and start TEC forwarding dynamically, once it has been initially set up, with the nvtecia  command.  It has two options.
        /usr/OV/bin/nvtecia  -stop 
stop TEC forwarding.
        /usr/OV/bin/nvtecia -reload
cause nvserverd to reload the ruleset which is defined in the tecint.conf file and begin forwarding again.  
Note that this allows you to edit the file and change the rule name whenever you  want to.

Hi.  We are running Netview 7.1.3 on AIX 5.1.  We have a need to temporarily stop forwarding events to TEC and would like to change this via the command line over dial-up.

Reading the tecint.conf man page, I see:

"  The /usr/OV/conf/tecint.conf file contains definitions for the forwarding
  of NetView events to TEC. The presence of this file will cause nvserverd to
  attempt TEC forwarding. If absent, no forwarding to TEC will occur."

So, it appears we could temporarily rename the file.  The man page doesn't seem to say whether or not we will need to bounce nvserverd.  Does anybody know if we'll need to?


Thanks,

Craig
