Performance Issue

[Dave Bunting]

Hello fellow campers,
Could anybody tell me what scrdaemon is?
the daemon (the devil it is to me now) eats up a very very high percentage of my cpu time...
could I just kill it? any other (child) processes tied up with it?
Thanks in adv...

Dave

Hi Dave,

I am not sure what this daemon is, sounds
like an application process that runs in the
background. You could possibly identify it
from /sbin/init.d directory if it starts
automatically.

# cd /sbin/init.d
# grep "scr*" *

Hopefully this will produce some results
in identification. From that your choice
whether you kill it and or restart it

Hi Dave,

I've never heard of scrdaemon but searching at search.hp.com for +scrdaemon turns up an entry about scr+dmi. Searching for SCR turns up a bunch of info about SCR (System Configuration Repository).

Good luck.

Thanks for the info guys, guess i'll have to search for it via google.

Hi Dave,

As it turns out it is "System Configuration Repository. Have a look at this link.

Hi Dave,

SCR is HP's System Configuration Repository. This is a performance tool that sort of tracks system changes and creates reports about nodes within a short period of time (behaves like PerfView i think)

upon further reading, i found out that scrdaemon invokes some processes based on the product's collection schedule which is maintained by the product's configuration management component. (just copied and pasted this ;-)



about child processes, have you tried 'ps -ef | grep scr*' ?

I guess you just have to read the manual.Here's the URL http://www.software.hp.com/products/DMI/docs/ScrUserRef.pdf
