Running site list

[Michael Hertel]

I’m going on an endeavour to write our own in-house shut down script

and would like opinions on the following:

What would be the best way to get a list of sites on my AIX box that are running?

When I want to find this out from a command line manually I do this:

ps -ef |grep lm

I look for the instances of lock managers with their name that tell me which sites I have going. I don’t want to code it this way if someone

has a better idea.

Thoughts?

You could also read the server.ini file and loop through each process in the environments.  You can use the following tcl code to parse it quickly.

# Create the path to the server.ini file and read the contents.

set serverFilePath /hci/root3.8.1P/server/server.ini

if {[catch {set fileIn [read_file -nonewline $serverFilePath]} emsg]} {echo 0; return {}}

# Start parsing the file contents to find the environs= entry.

set linesIn [split $fileIn n]

set environsIndex [lsearch $linesIn *environs*]

set environsIn [split [lindex $linesIn $environsIndex] “;”]

regsub -all “environs=” $environsIn “” environsIn

You could also do as you suggested and ps -ef | grep for the lock manager.  Depends on what else you may do in the script, as to whether or not you want to loop through all of your sites.

That would give me a list of all the sites, but I’m looking only for a quick list of the sites that have something running in them.

Our ‘stop all’ script processes all sites that are ‘active’ with Unix shell commands and then requests a stop.  We don’t bother to check if the site is running as the hci ‘stop’ does this for us and we would only be saving a few seconds.

In our environment, a site is active if a NetConfig file exists – we move the NetConfig file to NetConfig.disabled to make a site inactive.
