HELPLIB.HLB  —  PMDF  RESTART  Description
    Detached PMDF processes should be restarted whenever the PMDF
    configuration is altered-these processes load information from
    the configuration once only and need to be restarted in order for
    configuration changes to become visible to them.

    The RESTART utility is used to restart detached PMDF processes.
    The default is to restart processes on the node on which the
    command is executed. Use the /NODE qualifier with a specific
    node name to affect processes on a different node in the cluster;
    use the /CLUSTER qualifier to restart PMDF processes across the
    cluster; use the /ID qualifier to affect only a single process
    in the cluster. If no component parameter is specified, then all
    detached processes (including processes which use the PMDF API
    PMDF_SET_CALL_BACK procedure) will be restarted. If a component
    parameter is specified, then only detached processes associated
    with that component will be restarted. The standard component
    names are

    Component  Description

    BN_SLAVE   Detached processes which act as the Jnet Local Mail
               Delivery (LMD) daemon. Handles incoming local BITNET
               mail.
    CIRCUIT_   Detached process which monitors loopback message
    CHECK      delivery.
    COUNTERS   Detached processes which synchronize the channel
               counters.
    DISPATCHER PMDF multithreaded Service Dispatcher handling
               services such as SMTP, POP, IMAP, and HTTP servers.
    FAX_       Detached processes which process incoming FAXes.
    RECEIVE
    HTTP       HTTP server processes.
    IMAP       This restarts both IMAP server processes serving out
               system mailboxes, and IMAP server processes serving
               out PMDF MessageStore mailboxes.
    IMAP_      IMAP server processes serving out PMDF MessageStores
    SERVER     mailboxes.
    POP_       PMDF MessageStore POP3 server processes; that is,
    SERVER     the processes serving out PMDF MessageStore and PMDF
               popstore mailboxes.
    POP3       This restarts both POP3 server processes serving out
               system mailboxes, and POP3 server processes serving
               out PMDF MessageStore and PMDF popstore mailboxes.
    POPPASSD   POPPASSD server processes.
    SMTP       SMTP server processes.

    Detached PMDF processes will restart as soon as is convenient.
    They restart by performing an orderly shutdown, exiting the image
    they are running, starting a new detached process running, and
    then exiting.

    If there are no currently running process associated with a given
    component, then that component will not be restarted.
