SESD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SESD(8)NAME
sesd — monitor SCSI Environmental Services Devices
SYNOPSIS
sesd [-d] [-t poll-interval] device [device ...]
DESCRIPTION
sesd monitors SCSI Environmental Services (or SAF-TE) devices for changes
in state and logs such changes changes to the system error logger (see
syslogd(8)). At least one device must be specified. When no other
options are supplied, sesd detaches and becomes a daemon, by default wak‐
ing up every 30 seconds to poll each device for a change in state.
The following options may be used:
-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.
-p poll-interval
Change the interval of polling from the default 30 seconds to the
number of seconds specified.
The user may then use getencstat(8) to get more detailed information
about the state of the over enclosure device or objects within the enclo‐
sure device.

This is something of a toy, but it is better than nothing.
