Issue/Introduction

Radius services doesn't start automatically on Linux OS machines.

Cause

Linux OS limitation. Cron job required to restart services in VIP Enterprise Gateway.

Resolution

The crontab periodically checks the status of your VIP Enterprise Gateway services. If a VIP service is not running, the crontab calls the existing .rc scripts to restart it. If you stop your VIP Enterprise Gateway machine, the crontab continues to check and restart services after you restart your machine.

To set a cron job to restart services in VIP Enterprise Gateway:
1. As the Linux user that originally installed VIP Enterprise Gateway, log into the VIP Enterprise Gateway machine.
2. Enter the following line at a command prompt to create a crontab file:
crontab -e
3. Create schedules to check and restart services for all of your VIP Enterprise Gateway services. Use a separate schedule for each service. Each schedule should be a single line with the following format:
<Day of week (0-7)> <Month (1 - 12)> <Day of month (1 - 31)> <Hour (0 - 23)> <Min (0 - 59)> 
<path to .rc script>/<.rc script> start
