Track Progress of the emmDistributor With the emmlst Utility
749640 Rev D
Run the emmlst Utility
Introduction
The emmlst utility creates a list of DHCTs on the DNCS in the order that they are
processed by the emmDistributor process. This list is written to a file in the /tmp
directory of the DNCS. As system operators run the emmlst utility successive times,
the utility may ask if the current list should be recreated or if the current list should
be re-used.
Running the emmlst Utility
Follow these instructions to run the emmlst utility.
1.
If necessary, open an xterm window on the DNCS.
2.
Type emmlst.ksh and then press Enter.
Result: The system displays a message similar to the following:
A Distribution List already exists.
Result: The system displays a message similar to the following:
A Distribution List already exists.
Reusing this list will save execution
time. Would you like to re-use the
existing Distribution List? (y/n)

Notes:
•
The previous message only appears if the distribution list does, in fact,
already exist. The distribution list will not exist if the emmlst utility has not
been run since the last time the DNCS rebooted.
•
Whether or not the distribution list already exists on the DNCS is a
relatively minor point. System operators should focus on the output of the
emmlst utility, displayed in step 3.
