N> How do I restart a daemon process on UNIX if it dies? First, knowing why it died is a good thing. Especially when it's SNMP for the last couple of weeks. Most implementations have a vulnerability that the vendors have been pumping patches out for.
But to answer your question, when this happens to me, I like to go and see how it got started in the first place, so I can replicate any parameters that were missing. In System V based Unix implementations this happens in the /etc/rc?.d directories. Find the one that starts the daemon you want. On Solaris it's /etc/rc.3/S76snmpdx which can be run with either a start or a stop parameter. Of course you can look inside the rc start script and see exactly what commands it uses to start the daemon and do it yourself. -rje -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Robert Eskridge INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
