NAME

tictimed - system availability daemon  

SYNOPSIS


 tictimed 

 

DESCRIPTION

tictimed is part of SUNWlwact, the availability logging utility. It is a heartbeat daemon that updates the last updated time of the availability log file.

tictimed also checks for "lwact.update" file under the directory defined by the variable UPDATE in the /etc/default/lwact file. This file contains the 3 levels of cause codes that will be assigned to the last occured outage. During each run, tictimed looks for this file and if found, it updates the last recorded outage event with the cause codes listed in the lwact.update file. tictimed then removes the lwact.update file from that location. This feature provides a common interface for an automated enterprise cause code update process.

 

INVOCATION OPTIONS

There are no options for the deamon, it is started by the system automatically.
