pmconfig(1)

NAME

   pmconfig - Performance Co-Pilot configuration parameters

SYNOPSIS

   $PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmconfig [-a|-l] [-L] [-s] [name ...]

DESCRIPTION

   pmconfig  displays  the values for some or all configuration parameters
   of the local Performance Co-Pilot toolkit installation.

   The -L option may be used to change the default reporting mode so  that
   the  capabilities  of the PCP library are reported, rather than the PCP
   environment.

   An output format suitable for sourcing in shell scripts can be obtained
   using  the -s option, which ensures configuration information is quoted
   and preceded by an export statement.  When not  reporting  the  library
   capabilities, this mode will produce a statement that does not override
   an existing setting in the environment for PCP configuration variables.

   In the default operating mode, pmconfig is often  used  in  conjunction
   with  the  $PCP_DIR environment variable to setup scripts running under
   the Windows operating system, where the  filesystem  hierarchy  differs
   greatly to the of Linux/UNIX-based operating systems.

PCP ENVIRONMENT

   Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the
   file and directory names used by PCP.  On each installation,  the  file
   /etc/pcp.conf  contains  the  local  values  for  these variables.  The
   $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative  configuration
   file, as described in pcp.conf(5).

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.

Free Books

The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.

Education
