Douglas, if you want to go ahead and try this configuration change to
ovactiond you may do so through SMIT --> Configure --> Set options for
daemons --> Set options for event and trap processing daemons --> Set
options for ovactiond daemon. Warning, I'm not sure, but it may stop and
restart all NetView daemons to pick up the change. Good luck.
