dsmpgm--Control Daemon Processes on Linux and UNIX

The command dsmpgm lets you start up, shut down, or query the status of Client Automation daemon processes on Linux and UNIX. It is essentially a wrapper to the caf command, which is the primary command line interface to control Client Automation daemons. However, dsmpgm ensures that external prerequisite processes are available prior to invoking the caf functionality.

Command format:

dsmpgm {start | restart | stop | status}

start: Starts the daemon processes.
stop: Stops the daemon processes.
restart: Stops and starts the daemon processes.
status: Queries the status of the daemon processes.

Exit status:

Displays the status of the command execution. The value zero (0) means OK, any non-zero value indicates Error.
