Changing command line arguments for daemons controlled by SRC

Many NFS and NIS daemons have command-line arguments that can be specified when the daemon is started. Because these daemons are not started directly from the command line, you must update the SRC database so that the daemons can be started correctly.

To do this, use the chssys command. The chssys command has the format:

chssys -s Daemon -a 'NewParameter'

For example:

chssys -s nfsd -a '10'

changes the nfsd subsystem so that when the daemon is started, the command line looks like nfsd 10. The changes made by the chssys command do not take effect until the subsystem has been stopped and restarted.
