PMDF System Manager's Guide

8.1.2 Compiling the Configuration on UNIX

The pmdf cnbuild utility on UNIX is used to compile a PMDF configuration (configuration file, alias file, PMDF option file, mapping file, conversion file, security configuration file, and system wide filter file). After you are satisfied with your configuration file, alias file, option file, mapping file, conversion file, security configuration file, and system wide filter file, issue the command

# pmdf cnbuild

to compile your configuration into a single image and load the resulting image into shared memory. The alias, option, mapping, conversion, security configuration, system wide filter, and configuration files will be read and the compiled configuration image will be created. Any errors detected in the files will be reported and will cause the compilation to abort without producing an image.

Refer to Chapter 30 for complete details on the use of the cnbuild utility.

Note

As always when there is a change to the PMDF configuration, such as a new compiled configuration, any resident PMDF processes such as POP, IMAP, and TCP SMTP servers should be restarted with the pmdf restart command.
