Registrar

[Motheo Mogashwa]

I have a problem with the folloing processes that start on their own. They are over utilize my CPUs and kill my system.

First of all, I need to know what they are and what they do because I cannot find them from MAN Page.

I tried to kill them but they keep on restarting.

Example of the process

/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/registrar

Please help me to get rid of these processes or stop them permanently from running.

Hi

If this process kill your system it??s probably that you have any hardware problem.

To stop this process:

in "/etc/opt/resmon/lbin"
execute "./monconfig"
in Enter Selection "k"
and thats all.

The next reboot this process will be disable.

Regards

registrar is part of EMS (Event Monitoring System). Check out the ems and monconfig man pages for details.

You can disable monitoring completely using monconfig, but be aware that you will lose the notification that EMS provides.

You can also use monconfig to alter what events are being monitored.

Check your syslog.log and /etc/opt/resmon/log for recent ems-related events and see if something is causing excessive amounts of events to be logged. This can happen when you remove a device (like a tape drive), causing the system to go crazy trying to find it.

All of these are apart of EMS and EMS is a subset of diagnostics. To stop use:

/sbin/init.d/diagnostics stop/start

But I would only do this for a short while.

Check the api.log in /etc/opt/resmon/log for errors.

Do not kill these processes from the command line!
