what is ctxxmld daemon for? (MPS 4.0 for AIX)

[ogniemi]

where to find descriprion of all following daemons:


ctxsrvr 196682 1 0 May 18 - 8:45 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxxmld
ctxsrvr 213108 376946 0 May 18 - 5:30 ctxutmpd
ctxsrvr 376946 1 0 May 18 - 5:41 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxfm
ctxsrvr 499888 196682 0 May 18 - 5:30 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxxmldssup --run-as-root
ctxsrvr 532544 1 0 May 18 - 5:31 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxlsd
ctxsrvr 536776 1 0 May 18 - 5:35 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxibrowser


I tried to find it in Product Documentation but it is not there.

I am wondering why, when I start citrix by command:

/usr/lpp/CTXSmf/sbin/ctxsrv start

the running citrix processes are:

ctxsrvr 647234 1036458 0 14:45:26 - 0:00 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxxmldssup --run-as-root
ctxsrvr 1011816 1 0 14:45:32 - 0:00 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxlsd
ctxsrvr 1036458 1 0 14:45:26 - 0:00 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxxmld
ctxsrvr 1081534 1101902 0 14:45:38 - 0:00 ctxutmpd
ctxsrvr 1089550 1 0 14:45:44 - 0:00 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxibrowser
ctxsrvr 1101902 1 0 14:45:38 - 0:06 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxfm


but when I start by startsrc: (startsrc -s ctxmfd) where is one more process:

ctxsrvr 544826 1036456 0 14:44:17 - 0:00 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxxmldssup --run-as-root
ctxsrvr 876728 368806 0 14:44:15 - 0:00 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/sbin/ctxmfd
ctxsrvr 1011812 1 0 14:44:22 - 0:00 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxlsd
ctxsrvr 1036456 1 0 14:44:16 - 0:00 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxxmld
ctxsrvr 1085636 1 0 14:44:34 - 0:00 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxibrowser
ctxsrvr 1097974 1101880 0 14:44:28 - 0:00 ctxutmpd
ctxsrvr 1101880 1 1 14:44:28 - 0:06 /usr/lpp/CTXSmf/slib/ctxfm


what for is ctxmfd? needed? or not needed? (in both cases I can login using ICA client)

Maybe you have experience in citrix server on AIX monitoring - which ctxsrvr's processes are crucial and should be monitored?

thx in advance,.

ogniemi,
Here is a pdf document that might explain the processes.

Hope that helps.
