Did you make sure there were no remedy processes running as root before you tried to start the system up from user "remedy"?
The shutdown failed messages seem to suggest that Monitor and ServerD were still running as root when you tried to restart. Also double check the etc/arsystem files for ownership by remedy Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dwayne Martin Sent: Friday, June 08, 2007 9:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Accidentally installed email engine as root Hello everyone, (ARS 7.01 patch 2, Red-Hat Linux server, Oracle 10.2 db) I installed the AR System as non-root "remedy" user. Then I changed to root to give "remedy" permission to everything he needed to install the Email Engine. But I forgot to switch back to "remedy" before doing install. Consequently I installed the engine as root. I changed the ownership of all the objects in the install directory to "remedy" and reinstalled as "remedy." The installation was successful. But when I try to restart the AR System as "remedy" I get: Action Request System Monitor shutdown failed. Action Request System Server shutdown failed. Server log files, eg "filter.log" get created with "root" as the owner, and with only "-rwxr-x---" permissions, so "remedy" can't read them. "armonitor", "arserverd", "arsystem" and everything else in the "bin" directory all have "remedy" as their owner, and "-rwxr-xr-x" permissions. I logged in as root and restarted the AR System, hoping that would reset permissions, but it didn't. "root" still owns something very important. Any ideas?
