diagmond, memlogd, psmond

[DMLSS]

I may have to disable the following deamons: diagmond, memlogd, and psmond. These daemons appear to be associated with Predictive Support. Can these be disabled without ruining Predictive Support? Is there anything 'bad' that will happen if these daemons are disabled?

Well.....since the diagmond daemon is part of what sends predictive messages when hardware is having problems to syslog. I guess not realizing something is going wrong could cause a problem. You may want to review this thread, it has some good points - http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/otsearch/getfile?id=/hpux/onlinedocs/diag/stm/stm_faq.htm&searchterms=diagmond%20AND%20memlogd%20AND%20psmond&queryid=20010111-094733

Just a thought,

What I know is by dissabling this daemons nothing should go wrong, BUT if somthing goes wrong with the H/W you dont have a clue.Basically psmond is for predective support.Have you signed up for predective support with HP? If No, you can shut that daemon off.Not running diagmond will not allow you to run STM, also you do not get the system H/W failure logs.memlogd is memory error logging daemon. If you opt not to run diagmond thru modifications in the /etc/rc.config.d, memlogd is also not going to run.
