Starting the traffic regulation manager daemon (TRMD) from the z/OS® shell

TRMD is used with Traffic Regulation (TR), intrusion detection services (IDS) and IP Security to write event messages and statistics to the syslog daemon (syslogd).

The offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of the syslog time in the timestamp of TRMD messages is determined by the TZ environment variable described in z/OS UNIX System Services User's Guide.

To cause the timestamp to appear in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), change the TZ specification in /etc/profile or export TZ="0" before starting TRMD.

The -p start option or the resolver configuration file is used to determine the stack that TRMD uses.

Parameters

-d n

Internal debugging messages are written.

2

Internal and API debugging messages are written.

3

Internal debugging messages and output from the ioctls issued to the stack are written.

-p stackname

Specifies the TCP/IP stack name that TRMD uses. If this parameter is not specified, TRMD uses the resolver configuration file to determine the stack name.

Output is written to syslogd.
