How to stop DCE RPC daemon.

[Gulam Mohiuddin]

While installing VPO, got this message:

The DCE RPC daemon is running.

How to stop this DCE RPC daemon.

I tried the command dce_config and selected the option number 3 to stop dce daemon.

But when I checked with #ps -ef|grep dce
It shows that foll. dce daemon is still running.
..../opt/dce/sbin/rpcd

Thanks,

I suppose this must be an 11.0 system.
cd /sbin/init.d
./Rpcd stop

Think it is:

/sbin/init.d/dce stop

...jcd...

Curious that the install would not stop it if it needed stopping.

RPC is used for a number of things and is the default daemon.

If DCE is actually running, then you will not have rpcd, you will have dced, cdsd, etc.

DCE can be stopped by /sbin/init.d/dce stop
and replace the stop with start after you are done.

These daemons can also be killed with a -9 without doing any harm.

I would assume that the install would start them back up, but if only rpcd was running, just /sbin/init.d/rpcd start

do../sbin/init.d/dce stop

to start again.../sbin/init.d/dce start
It should start rpcd, if not..run /opt/dce/sbin/rpcd
