Process won’t start 5.7 Rev2

[Tim Hallbauer]

Hi all,

I have a process in my test site that just doesn’t seem to start. I have tried to start it by starting the process and also a single connection within that process. I can see that the pid is created and removed when I start and stop the process. The process just never shows that it is running. Hciprocstatus shows that it is still down.

I can’t find anything in any log files or output that would indicate an issue. I have shutdown and removed the monitorShmemFile, rdm.taf file, initialized the Db stopped and restarted the host server etc. Everything just short of rebooting. I have to be missing something? Is there somewhere I should be looking?

Thanks,

Tim

Additionally, when I issue the command to stop the process, I get a return that it is not running. When I issue the command to start it I get a message that it’s already running.

I usually find in cases like this that the pid and/or wpid file refers to a process id that is usually an unrelated job running on the system.

When all else fails, you can delete the process directory and let the system rebuild it at the next start.

If any of the following files don’t exist in $HCISITEDIR/exec/processes/my_process

cmd_port

pid

wpid

then check if the process might actually be running and has lost the pointer files above to itself, which will require you to manually kill that process on the backend.

Under AIX, I would do the following to locate the process and pid I need to manually kill

ps -ef | grep $HCISITE

once I locate the rogue process pid from the listing above, I use the command

kill -9 my_pid_of _interest

Thanks for the suggestions.

It turned out that there were some old processes that were running ‘in memory’ identified.

HCIENGINE, HCIENGINEWATCH and HCIMONITORD

Once these were killed, the process started.
