Question

How to restart the job daemon in regular intervals, e.g. yearly after the clock change?

Answer

1) Create a script under $alephe_root:

 

aleph@dc03kgnnneu(a21_1) XXX01> ls -ltr jobdrestart

-rwxrwxr-x 1 aleph exlibris 680 Oct 17 14:52 jobdrestart*

aleph@dc03kgnnneu(a21_1) XXX01> cat jobdrestart

#!/bin/csh -f

 

        source $alephe_root/aleph_start

        source $aleph_proc/def_local_env

 

        setenv l_aleph_app_version a${ALEPH_VERSION}_${ALEPH_COPY}

 

 

#*******************************************

#       Check Batch/Daemons validation

#*******************************************

 

        source $aleph_proc/define_batch_daemons_server

 

#*******************************************

#       jobd

#*******************************************

        if  ($VALID_FOR_BATCH == "Y") then

           echo "starting jobd... "

           csh -f $aleph_proc/jobd $ALEPH_VERSION >& /dev/null &

           echo " "

        endif

 

 

echo "jobd restart complete"

 

exit:

   exit

 

Important Notes:

• For Aleph 20 and lower the part in yellow *must* be removed

• Script must be executable (chmod 775 jobdrestart)

 

2) Add a line to the job_list:

 

!     2     3        4               5               6                    7

!!-!!!!!!!!-!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!

W6 03:30:00 N jobdrestart.log      /exlibris/aleph/u21_1/alephe/jobdrestart

 

Where W6 is according to job_list.conf a weekly start on Sunday:

W6    W YNNNNNN

Replace the path from the example (e.g. u21_1) with the correct path to the file location.

 

3) Restart the job daemon
