Conrad, Whenever the arserverd has consumed more resources than average it doesn't always mean it has hung. Try turning on the API/SQL combined logs during such times. It could mean that the arserverd is waiting for available queues for processing but there are no available queues. It could mean you are falling short of fast or list threads.. A combined API/SQL logs would tell you if this is the case from the time that it takes for the execution cycle of an API from the time it is sent to the time a response is received.
What are your fast and list threads set to and what is the usage (number of concurrent submits/modify operation, number of concurrent searches either user induced searches or workflow induced) of your AR System? To answer your question on a command or script to check if a AR System process is hung, how would you do that? A process that has hung is still a process. It is still running, and usually ends up hogging more server resources (CPU utilization). However the same process may not be hung but could utilize more than average resources when doing some DB intensive tasks. Does your AR System server terminate when you think it has hung??? Does the armonitor service fail to restart it automatically after such a termination??

Processes wise everything is up. However, I want to check if the process is hung in some way since from the Unix side, it seems the arserverd is taking having resources at certain times. Please let me know how to check this.

If it returns a message of any kind, it means the AR Server is not yet up..

I have a requirement wherein the remedy database needs to be shutdown for a particular task. I have a shell script in place for this. It does the following: 1) The shell script shuts down ARS services, checks for the message: "Action Request System shutdown process complete" 2) Shuts down the DB, performs the task and restarts the DB. 3) Once the DB is up, ARS services is started and checks the message: "Action Request System initialization is complete." I am not sure if the above steps are an efficient way to detect ARS services. Is there a better way of checking ARS services from within a shell script?
