Hi, init.cssd checks periodically for different deamon (CSS deamon) either they are running or not. It write messages to log file each time it performs a check. you can get more information in init.cssd script about the logic. -Harish Kalra "Dubovecky, Jeffrey P" <jpdubovecky@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: On all of our Linux RAC implementations, it seems that the init.cssd generates a number of messages (about 1 a minutes) to the /var/log/messages file. Does anyone understand why the init.cssd is generating this large number of messages and is this a cause for concern? Is there anyone else using a Linux/RAC environment that has seen this?
