.Dd November 5, 2012 .Dt SESD 8 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm sesd .Nd monitor SCSI Environmental Services Devices .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Fl c .Op Fl d .Op Fl t Ar poll-interval .Ar device .Op Ar device ... .Sh DESCRIPTION .Nm monitors SCSI Environmental Services (or SAF-TE) devices for changes in state and logs such changes to the system error logger (see .Xr syslogd 8 ) . At least one device must be specified. When no other options are supplied, .Nm detached becomes a daemon, by default waking up every 30 seconds to poll each device for a change in state.
p The following options may be used: l -tag -width Ds t Fl c Try to clear enclosure status after read. t Fl t Ar poll-interval Change the interval of polling from the default 30 seconds to the number of seconds specified. t Fl d Instead of detaching and becoming a daemon, stay attached to the controlling terminal and log changes there as well as via the system logger. .El
p The user may then use .Xr getencstat 8 to get more detailed information about the state of the over enclosure device or objects within the enclosure device. .Sh FILES l -tag -width /dev/sesN -compact t Pa /dev/sesN SCSI Environmental Services Devices .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ses 4 , .Xr getencstat 8 , .Xr setencstat 8 , .Xr setobjstat 8 , .Xr syslogd 8 .Sh BUGS This is something of a toy, but it is better than nothing.
