CHAPTER 17 Service Access Facility
17.6 Network Port Monitors
The listen port monitor is the network listener daemon. Multiple services can be provided by each instance of listen. The administrative files for listen are configured using the pmadm and nlsadmin commands.
The network listener plays a role similar to that of inetd and provides additional services, such as network printing service between System V and BSD machines.
The listen monitor can be
- enabled monitoring requests for service and invoking the responsible servers
- disabled not monitoring new requests, but previous servers remain functional
- killed then all servers previously invoked by this instance of listen are disabled.
