ptsevtd Command
Purpose
Manages the notifications of updates to the AIX® system boot image.
Syntax
Description
The ptsevtd daemon listens to the events delivered by the ptsevt command when an attested system is being updated. By default, whenever an event is received, the ptsevtd command calls the openpts command with the universally unique identifier (UUID) of the system that is sending the event as the first argument. This process updates the corresponding reference manifest with the latest or the expected measurements. The -c option can be used to specify an alternative command that is called when a notification is received.
Use the -f option to run the daemon in the foreground. The -d option is specified multiple times to make the output more verbose. The -p argument specifies the port to be used to listen for event notifications.
