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:

As the root user, change directories to /m1/incoming or another directory where you want the restart script to reside.
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

Change the script's owner & group to root:root
Change the script's permissions to 744 (-rwxr--r--)
Place an entry in the root crontab to run the script at the desired time.

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

## Daily Process Restart Script ##
