Unable to stop EMS in hpux 11.11 with /sbin/init.d/ems stop

[Prasanth Vattoly]

HI all

I want to stop EMS in one hpux 11.11 server to unmount “/etc/opt/resmon/persistence”.
I am unable to stop the EMS by /sbin/init.d/ems stop command. Getting this error …


=> sudo /sbin/init.d/ems stop
This script does not stop the EMS Services
Do not run this script manually from the command line prompt.
EMS monitors may not behave as expected.
If you have performed this action already, execute the command
/usr/bin/rm -f /var/stm/data/tools/monitor/.system_shutdown_ems
You can ignore this message in /etc/rc.log and /etc/rc.log.old

Please suggest some other methods to stop EMS .



Thanks in advance
Prasanth

Shalom,

sudo probably won't work here.

You need root access or to have root grant restricted SAM access to your user id.

Then you should be able to use SAM to shut off EMS.

To stop diagnostics while the system is running:

/sbin/init.d/diagnostic stop

You must be root of course.

Hi,

Those start up script such as /sbin/init.d/ it is advisable not to use assign sudo to execute it.

Further Sudo is an opensource tool, you may consider RBAC which is HP equivalent of Sudo

Hi all..


its not still solved. This is the "action case" in /sbin/init.d/ems for stop option. As per my knowlegde , /sbin/init.d/ems stop will not stop the service.

=============================================
'stop')
print "This script does not stop the EMS Services"
if [ -d /var/stm/data/tools/monitor ]
then
print "Do not run this script manually from the command line prompt."
print "EMS monitors may not behave as expected."
print "If you have performed this action already, execute the command"
print "/usr/bin/rm -f /var/stm/data/tools/monitor/.system_shutdown_ems"
print "You can ignore this message in /etc/rc.log and /etc/rc.log.old"

/usr/bin/touch /var/stm/data/tools/monitor/.system_shutdown_ems
/usr/bin/chmod 444 /var/stm/data/tools/monitor/.system_shutdown_ems
fi
exitval=$SUCCESS # No-op
;;

=============================================


This script is unable to stop EMS eventhough i am giving the stop command from root user. So i want so other method to stop EMS.
