#1

Indicates OSS of add-on program (OSS) that JP1/IM - Agent ships with for the add-on administration feature. JP1/IM agent control base (imagent,imagentproxy,imagentaction) and the ability to manipulate the services of these OSS with the following commands are called add-on administration functions.

jpc_service
jpc_service_start
jpc_service_stop
jpc_service_autostart

Add-on administration function corresponding OSS enables automatic periodic restart of log trapper and performance monitoring function wrappers (service definition file or unit definition file of the applicable OSS specifies an environment variable IMA_OSSWRAPPER_RESTART_INTERVAL (which sets the restart interval), and OSS wrapper automatically restarts the service processes on a regular basis).

#2

Its entity is a gem file. The file is installed together with other gem files used by JP1/IM - Agent.

#3
