Re: Help with a UNIX script to STOP the AREmail daemon

On my AREmail problem (silent death of service) the answer of the day from BMC Support is to upgrade the client on the server from Outlook 2003 Sp2 to Outlook 2007. Has anyone tested using Outlook 2007 as the client instead of Outlook 2003 Sp2 as specified/discussed in the ARS 7.1 Release Notes?

Awesome, that works from the command prompt just as you described. Now I just need to gin up an escalation to fire that RUN PROCESS. Thanks, Gp George Payne Corporate Applications Developer Electric Reliability Council of Texas (512) 248-3940 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From:

Hey Chris, I've written a nightly escalation to move email messages older than 1 week off to an archive file. I'll be glad to share that with you if you like. Just contact me directly. Gp George Payne Corporate Applications Developer Electric Reliability Council of Texas (512) 248-3940 [EMAIL

Not if your armonitor is set up to restart it. That just kills the process, and then armonitor detects it and restarts the process. Anne Ramey *** E-mail correspondence to and from this address may be subject to the North Carolina Public Records Law and may be

Sure, it start a new process. The only problem with a signal 9 is that the process exits immediately and is not given the opportunity to perform any pending or cleanup operations it has. The impact of such a thing will vary from program to program. The program may leave temp files scattered in

Sure, but to skip from 15 to 9 without giving the process a chance is a bad practice. Axton Grams On Tue, Jul 22, 2008 at 3:22 PM, Ramey, Anne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If it's totally hung, necessitating a kill, it often requires a kill -9. Anne Ramey ***

I'm hoping to avoid having to do the same thing (Windows env) here, that is, build a custom aremail watchdog to kick-start the service when email starts stacking up. Our AREMail 7.1.00.002 engine has been dying silently and randomly for over a month now, sometimes after a java error in the

Depending how badly it is hung and why, that may work and may not. I've actually had to kill the java process before. That tends to be how we do it at this point. Anne Ramey -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf

That would work great on Linux, but not on Windows. :) Microsoft has a great utility called Process Explorer (which they got when the bought sysinternals) that can kill just about anything on Windows. --- J.T. Shyman -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion

Hi George, Interestingly enough we see the same thing with the window email engine. It has bee a few years but you should be able to call emaild.sh script (I think that is the name) and give it a stop parameter. Once armonitor sees that it is stopped it should automatically start up again. Jason

Hey gang... Occasionally the ARSystem Email Engine will just stop working. The DAEMON is running and so the ARMONITOR does not realize that the service needs to be re-started because the PROCESS is still running. What I would like to do is have an ESCALATION run a PROCESS on the server to
