    Question

    How to restart all Voyager-related processes daily?

    Answer

    Our recommended Best Practice is to reboot the server nightly.

    This script should be used if the ExLibris daily backup script (/m1/utility/dailybackup) is not used. All Voyager-related processes (Oracle, Voyager, Apache) should be restarted on a daily basis.

    If after discussion with Support, you determine an application restart is appropriate instead:

    1. As the root user, change directories to /m1/incoming or another directory where you want the restart script to reside.
    2. Using Vi Editor, copy & paste the following script into a file and name it daily_restart.sh :
    #!/bin/sh
    ### 2014-08-01 Linux Daily Process Restart Script ###
    
    logger -p daemon.notice ELG - daily restart script started
    
    /etc/init.d/httpd2 stop
    sleep 15
    
    /etc/init.d/voyager stop
    sleep 45
    
    /etc/init.d/dbora stop
    sleep 60
    
    /etc/init.d/dbora start
    sleep 45
    
    /etc/init.d/httpd2 start
    sleep 15
    
    /etc/init.d/voyager start
    sleep 45
    
    echo
    date
    logger -p daemon.notice ELG - daily restart script completed
    
    1. Change the script's owner & group to root:root
    2. Change the script's permissions to 744 (-rwxr--r--)
    3. Place an entry in the root crontab to run the script at the desired time.

    [root@us-suplv811 incoming]# crontab -e
