Enable EMS on HPUX

EMS (Event Management System) is an amazing tool that comes along with the HPUX OS that can be used to monitor for any hardware failure events that happens in the server hardware like CPU, Memory, Fan, power supply, disk failures etc... among other things.

EMS has the capability to monitor for occurance of such events on the server and can also notify the team via email communication, loggin into the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log among other mode of communication.

This tool is very helpful and can help us to keep track of any failures in the server hardware and we can take timely actions to reduce the effect of failure on the server functionality. monconfig is the command to configure EMS. the path of the file is /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

read manual page of monconfig for more information.

different unix and linux equivalent commands

Just imagine different unix linux flavours... say HPUX, Red Hat linux, AIX, solaris and what not... not all but among the above mentioned a few more flavours and the equivalent commands.

I have a link that shows a table with commands equivalent in different flavours.

can be helpful sometimes when we are not familiar with some flavours.
