24x7 MP 4.3.293 - Job to Shutdown / Auto-Restart ?

24x7 MP 4.3.293 - Job to Shutdown / Auto-Restart ?

Hi,
I would like to create a 24x7 Job to Auto-Restart the scheduler, or at least Shutdown the scheduler in a clean manner.
I have seen example scripts for performing a restart for a Windows scheduler, but not for a Linux based scheduler.

What method/code would you recommend to shutdown/restart a 24x7 MP server ?

If you are running it on Windows system as a service, the same method could be used, create and schedule a batch file to restart the service
NET STOP "24x7 Scheduler"
NET START "24x7 Scheduler"

Please check the service name it may be a bit different in different versions

If you are running it on *nix system, create and schedule a shell script to restart the daemon using 24x7_constrol.sh script
./24x7_constrol.sh stop
./24x7_constrol.sh start

Thanks for the quick reply :-)

Sorry, this might be a silly question, but where is the "24x7_constrol.sh" script ? Cannot find it in the Scheduler install directory.

[24x7 Scheduler MP 4.3.293 on Red Hat 5.x]

Here is the code of that file

Code:

#!/bin/sh

###########################################################
# The first parameter must be either 'start', 'check',
# or 'stop', for example:
#
# ./24x7_control.sh start
###########################################################

if [ "$1" = "start" ]
then
# start 24x7 if it is not already running
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep jscheduler.jar

if [ $? -eq 1 ]
then
   echo "Starting Alert Center server..."
   ./master.sh nogui &
   echo "Scheduler started."
else
   echo "Scheduler already running."
fi
elif [ "$1" = "check" ]
then
# check 24x7 is running
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep jscheduler.jar

if [ $? -eq 1 ]
then
   echo "Scheduler is not running"
rsh <mail> mailx -s "<Scheduler>" <mail>
exit 1
else
   echo "Scheduler running."
fi

elif [ "$1" = "stop" ]
then
# find and kill the process
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep jscheduler.jar

if [ $? -eq 1 ]
then
   echo "ERROR: Scheduler not running."
   exit 1
else
ps xu | grep -v grep | grep jscheduler.jar | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs kill -9
   echo "Terminate signal has been sent to Scheduler process."
fi
else
echo "ERROR: Invalid command line parameters"
echo "Example 1: ./24x7_control.sh start"
echo "Example 2: ./24x7_control.sh stop"
echo "Example 3: ./24x7_control.sh check"
exit 1
fi

Magic. Just what I was looking for. Manny Thanks :-)

I'm sorry, I've noticed that the message board engine is removing text appearing in HTML like format. Here is re-posted script, using double quotes instead of brackets for HTML tags.
