The Linux Manuals (man pages) document is an important part of Linux documents. Linux Manuals are organized as several sections. Each section has a group of commands for a specific area in Linux usage, administration or development.

pmpost – append messages to the Performance Co-Pilot notice board Synopsis$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmpost message Descriptionpmpost will append the text message to the end of the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) notice board file ($PCP_LOG_DIR/NOTICES) in an atomic manner that guards against corruption of the notice board file by concurrent invocations of pmpost. The PCP notice board is intended to…
pmpause, pmsleep – portable subsecond-capable sleep Synopsis$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmpause $PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmsleep interval Descriptionpmpause sleeps indefinitely, until interrupted by SIGKILL. pmsleep sleeps for the specified interval. The interval argument follows the syntax described in PCPIntro(1) for -t, and in the simplest form may be an unsigned integer or floating point constant (the implied units in this case are seconds)….
pmpath – show full path to a perl module Synopsispmpath module … DescriptionFor each module name given as an argument, produces its full path on the standard output, one per line. Examples $ pmpath CGI /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/CGI.pm $ filsperl -S pmpath IO::Socket CGI::Carp /usr/local/filsperl/lib/5.00554/i686-linux-thread/IO/Socket.pm /usr/local/filsperl/lib/5.00554/CGI/Carp.pm $ oldperl -S pmpath CGI CGI::Imagemap /usr/lib/perl5/CGI.pm /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/CGI/Imagemap.pmSee Alsopmdesc(1), pmvers(1), pmcat(1)….
pmount – mount arbitrary hotpluggable devices as normal user Synopsispmount [ options ] device pmount [ options ] device label pmount –lock [ options ] device pid pmount –unlock [ options ] device pid pmount Descriptionpmount ("policy mount") is a wrapper around the standard mount program which permits normal users to mount removable devices without…
pmnsmerge – merge multiple versions of a Performance Co-Pilot PMNS Synopsis$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmnsmerge [-adfxv] infile […] outfile Descriptionpmnsmerge merges multiple instances of a Performance Metrics Name Space (PMNS), as used by the components of the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP). Each infile argument names a file that includes the root of a PMNS, of the form root { /*…
pmnsdel – delete a subtree of names from the Performance Co-Pilot PMNS Synopsis$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmnsdel [-n namespace] metricpath [ … ] Descriptionpmnsdel removes subtrees of names from a Performance Metrics Name Space (PMNS), as used by the components of the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP). Normally pmnsdel operates on the default Performance Metrics Name Space (PMNS), however if the…
pmnsadd – add new names to the Performance Co-Pilot PMNS Synopsis$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmnsadd [-n namespace] file Descriptionpmnsmerge(1) performs the same function as pmnsadd and is faster, more robust and more flexible. It is therefore recommended that pmnsmerge(1) be used instead. pmnsadd adds subtree(s) of new names into a Performance Metrics Name Space (PMNS), as used by the…
pmnewlog – stop and restart archive logging for PCP performance metrics Synopsis$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmnewlog [-a accessfile] [-C saveconfig] [-c configfile] [-N] [-n pmnsfile] [-P] [-p pid] [-s] [-V] [other pmlogger options] archive Descriptionpmnewlog may be used to stop and restart a running instance of pmlogger(1).
