checking applications before & after patching server

Ravinder Singh Gill — Fri, 08 Jul 2005 06:38:41 GMT

I am going to be patching a server. Before I patch the server I have to check what applications are running, stop them (and disable auto-start). Once I have completed the patching I have to reenable a the autostart on the applications once the patching is complete. Then having rebooted the server I have to confirm that all the applications are running.

To check the applications should I be doing: *unifstat?
*ps -ef?
or something else?

Yes,
ps -ef of course!!!

or even better

ps -ef|grep -v root

so you can see generally all the processes that don't belog to root (i.e. oracle, tibco or other).

Hi Ravinder

Example if you are using oracle

ps -ef | grep ora
