     sesd - monitor SCSI Environmental Services Devices

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     sesd [-d] [-t poll-interval] device [device ...]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     sesd monitors SCSI Environmental Services  (or  SAF-TE)  devices for changes
     in  state  and  logs such changes to the system error logger
(see
     syslogd(8)).  At least one device must be  specified.   When
no other options
  are  supplied, sesd detaches and becomes a daemon, by
default waking
     up every 30 seconds to poll each  device  for  a  change  in
state.

     The options are as follows:

     -p poll-interval
             Change  the  interval of polling from the default 30
seconds to the
             number of seconds specified.

     -d      Instead of detaching and becoming a daemon, stay attached to the
             controlling  terminal  and log changes there as well
as via the
             system logger.

     The user may then use getencstat(8) to get more detailed information
     about  the  state  of the enclosure device or objects within
the enclosure
     device.
