netbackup process monitoring
Hi,
i have been asked to provide a list of processes that we can monitor to determine whether or not our master/media servers are up and running. Can anyone help me with this?
The issue i have, is that a number of the processes that run onthe master/media servers can spawn child processes tohelp with workload, and then close them down when it catches up. I dont want to be reporting on these.
I am looking at getting NOM setup, but i have to set up this process monitoring in the meantime, so any help would be appreciated
regards
Rich
Main bprd and bpdbm have PPID of 1. Child/forked processes will have the main daemon PID as parent.
