DESCRIPTION
The EVM channel manager is started automatically by the EVM daemon, and
usually should not be run as a stand-alone program. It reads a set of
channel definitions from the channel configuration file and executes
the commands defined as the monitor and cleanup functions for any chan‐
nel, at the configured intervals. There is no requirement for any chan‐
nel to be configured with either of the periodic functions; the channel
manager ignores any channels which have neither.
By default, the channel manager reads its configuration from /etc/evm‐
channel.conf. The -c option can be used to override this. If the chan‐
nel configuration file is changed while the channel manager is running,
the evmreload -c command should be used to instruct it to reconfigure
itself.
The channel manager reconfigures itself when evmreload -c is run, or
upon receipt of a SIGHUP signal.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Successful completion. An
error occurred.
