Issue/Introduction

Prior to Spectrum 10.4.2.1, the processd.pl restart command did not shut down the SpectroSERVER and Archive Manager. The script now does shut down these processes. What has changed?

Environment

Release : 10.4.2.1

Component : Spectrum Core / SpectroSERVER

Cause

Code update.

Resolution

Starting in 10.4.2.1 the processd.pl script has changed. Instead of using /etc/init.d it is now going to use systemctl (service units) going forward. This is part of the script that has been changed.



#

my $processd_exe = "$ENV{'SPECROOT'}/lib/SDPM/processd$exe" ;

my $system_cmd = "systemctl" ;



# Pass appropriate argument to processd

if(-x $processd_exe)

{

@command = ("$system_cmd $task processd");

exec(@command);

}

#



As an alternative, you can use the processd executable to restart the service and this will not stop the SS and AM. Below is an example:



[root@HOSTNAME SDPM]# date

Fri Oct 16 09:14:49 EDT 2020

[root@HOSTNAME SDPM]# ./processd --restart

Waiting 20 seconds for daemon to shutdown....

daemon stopped



starting "SPECTRUM Process Daemon" daemon: pid 237730



VNM.OUT file:



Oct 16 09:10:28 : /usr/Spectrum/SS/SpectroSERVER

is now ready on port 0xbeef...
