2.5.1 Starting and Stopping the Daemon

Start and stop the daemon and force the daemon to stop a health check run.

1. To start the daemon, use the –d start option as follows:

   $ ./orachk –d start
   

   $ ./exachk –d start
   

   The tools prompt you to provide required information during startup.

2. To stop the daemon, use the –d stop option as follows:

   $ ./orachk –d stop
   

   $ ./exachk –d stop
   

   If a health check run is progress when you run the stop command, then the daemon indicates so and continues running.

3. To force the daemon to stop a health check run, use the –d stop_client option:

   $ ./orachk –d stop_client
   

   $ ./exachk –d stop_client
