Dale, You may not want to insert the "-9" in the kill command. The system monitor has some child process started by smon_ech and I don't think they get killed with the -9 in your statement. So kill without a -9 (perhaps confirm there is no smon* process remaining) and then run the nohup line to get system monitor running again. Terry This may not be the recommended way, even though I am sure that TAC had me do it this way. Kill the system monitor by using the following command ps -eaf | grep smon This should return the path where sysmon resides as well as the pid number path should be /usr/fox/sysmgm/sysmon/smon_ech (smon_ech is the process to kill) at the # prompt kill -9 and the process id To restart: nohup /usr/fox/sysmgm/sysmon/smon_ech & Hope this helps -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gillis, Dale Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 12:44 PM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [foxboro] System Monitor Restarting I have an AW 51D Version 6.5.2 and is the hosts on this node. I want to restart the System Monitor but I'm not sure of the commands. I would assume I would have to kill some processes and restart manually. Can anyone help please?
