In case the daemons have to be stoped.

Procedure for stopping the daemons for NIRES.

Start xterm as nireseng on niresserver1
Check that the scripts are running by issuing a nires status

The output should look similar to this:

nfcs            : is running on niresserver1.
nfcs            :  PPID   PID  PGID   UID  VSZ  RSS %CPU        TIME COMMAND
nfcs            :  8855  8856  8536  2023 4896 1360  0.0       00:01    /kroot/bin/rpcKey_server -l nfcs_service -s nfcs
nfcs            :     1  8855  8536  2023 5280 4008  0.0       00:15    /kroot/bin/rpcKey_server -l nfcs_service -s nfcs

ngs             : is running on niresserver1.
ngs             :  PPID   PID  PGID   UID  VSZ  RSS %CPU        TIME COMMAND
ngs             :  8211  8212  7892  2023 6304 1352  0.0       00:05    /kroot/bin/rpcKey_server -l nires_service -s nires
ngs             :     1  8211  7892  2023 9912 8536  0.0       01:27    /kroot/bin/rpcKey_server -l nires_service -s nires

nsds            : is running on niresserver1.
nsds            :  PPID   PID  PGID   UID  VSZ  RSS %CPU        TIME COMMAND
nsds            :  8534  8535  8215  2023 239648 5392  0.0       00:00    /kroot/bin/rpcKey_server -l nds_service -s nsds
nsds            :     1  8534  8215  2023 239984 81976  0.0       00:13    /kroot/bin/rpcKey_server -l nds_service -s nsds

ntcs            : is running on niresserver1.
ntcs            :  PPID   PID  PGID   UID  VSZ  RSS %CPU        TIME COMMAND
ntcs            :  9176  9177  8857  2023 4872 1376  0.0       00:00    /kroot/bin/rpcKey_server -l ntcs_service -s ntcs
ntcs            :     1  9176  8857  2023 5344 4072  0.0       00:13    /kroot/bin/rpcKey_server -l ntcs_service -s ntcs

Another way to check that the scripts are running is by issuing a nires status

The output should look similar to this:


niresserver1 runs the global server, temperature control server, flexure
control server and the imaging detector server.

Under normal conditions, -2- of each type will be running.
=======================================================================
username    pid    service
--------    ---    -------
niresrun      138    nfcs
niresrun      457    nfcs
niresrun      819    nids
niresrun      889    nids
niresrun      25310    ntcs
niresrun      25820    ntcs
niresrun      482    nires
niresrun      515    nires
niresrun      27707    nsds
niresrun      27708    nsds

The nsds daemons runs on niresserver2.

to stop a server use the stop_daemon command where daemons is the one to stop. For example to stop the nids one would type stop_nids the output would look like:

Shutting down nids
Shutting down server...
setting shutdown = 1 (wait)

one can check that the daemons is not running by using ct or nires status .
