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.
