Recently, accordian to Gautam, the NDS2 server has been dying on Megatron ~daily or weekly. The prescription is to restart the server.
- I could find no instructions (that work) in the elog or wiki. We must remove the misleading entries from the wiki and update it with whatever works as of today.
- There is a line (which has been commented out) in the Megatron crontab which is close to the right command, but it has the wrong path.
- Running the command from the CRON (/home/nds2mgr/nds2-megatron/test_restart), gives several errrors.
- when I run the init.d command which is in the script, it seems to run fine
- the server then takes several minutes to get itself together; i.e. just because it is running doesn't mean that you can get data. I recommend waiting 5-10 minutes.
Also, megatron is running Ubuntu 12 !! Let's decide on a day to upgrade it to a Debian 18ish....word from Rolf is that Scientific Linux is fading out everywhere, so Debian is the new operating system for all conformists. |
