694.0. "Stopping/restarting Console Notify?" by CSC32::D_DONOVAN (SummaNulla(The High Point of Nothing)) Wed Apr 26 1995 19:52

	I'm currently working with a customer who has migrated from VCS and is 
asking if the following is possible:

	" ...with VCS when we performed system maintenance we didn't want 
	 all of the unwanted messages coming from our connected systems 
	 so we simply "turned off" the event notification by stopping the
	 VCS$ELOG process and then restarting it (VCS$ELOG) after our 
	 maintenance was finished... "

	I looked into this with PCM however I'm rather "new" to this product 
so I'm not sure that I explored every possibility.  However, what I found was 
that once I stopped the Console Notify daemon restarting it was not possible 
until I shut PCM down and did a "cold start."  When I passed a P1 parameter
of "DAEMONS" to CONSOLE$STARTUP it simply told me to issue a RESTART due to 
the fact that other PCM components were running and "CONSOLE$IMAGE_STARTUP is 
an internal "CALL" which makes "crafting" something outside of CONSOLE$STARTUP 
not worth the effort.  

	Is turning off event notification and restarting it without having 
to restart all of PCM doable/advisable/supported?

Thanks,

Dennis

Dennis,

  Stopping the ENS process is neither advisable, nor supported.

  There is no way to do what you need "out of the box" and it
  would require some major work to implement what you are asking.

Cheers,
Phil
