l) for further
           details).
    
           If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:
    
                # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/logger
                # ./Remove
    
           **pmdalogger** is launched by [pmcd(1)](../man1/pmcd.1.html) and should never be executed
           directly.  The Install and Remove scripts notify [pmcd(1)](../man1/pmcd.1.html) when the
           agent is installed or removed.

##  PCP ENVIRONMENT  top

    
    
           Environment variables with the prefix **PCP_** are used to
           parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP.  On each
           installation, the file _/etc/pcp.conf_ contains the local values
           for these variables.  The **$PCP_CONF** variable may be used to
           specify an alternative configuration file, as described in
           [pcp.conf(5)](../man5/pcp.conf.5.html).
