SUMMARY: How to determine if param. set in running system

I asked how to verify that a parameter was set from sysconfigtab, in the
running system.

I received quick responses from:
Uwe.Buecher_at_Degussa.DE
GGuethlein_at_GiantOfMaryland.com
Nick.Batchelor_at_unilever.com

who all mentioned using:

        sysconfig -q [subsystem_name]

You should also be able to use:

        sysconfig -s

to show the state of ALL configured subsystems. Niether of these
seem to work for this parameter on our system. What DID work was:

        # sysconfigdb -l dlm

dlm:
        dlm_disable_grptx = 0

Details of the failure are below, if you are interested. Thanks again
for quick help!

================================================
# sysconfig -q dlm
framework error: subsystem 'dlm' not found

--> "sysconfig -s" has no "dlm" entry.

However,
        sysconfigdb -l dlm
does show me that the parameter exists:

# sysconfigdb -l dlm

dlm:
        dlm_disable_grptx = 0

so we are ok. At first, my sysconfigtab entry was lacking leading spaces -
I'd put it in a file and added it with "sysconfigdb -a -f filename param",
where it lacked leading spaces in the file. After I went into sysconfigtab
and added the three leading spaces, things started working, so the file
may be sensitive to spacing.
