NAME¶
pmconfig - Performance Co-Pilot configuration parameters
SYNOPSIS¶
$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmconfig [-alLs?] [name ...]
DESCRIPTION¶
pmconfig displays the values for some or all configuration parameters of
the local Performance Co-Pilot toolkit installation.
OPTIONS¶
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.
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 configuration
file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
