HP-UX Monitor Startup and Shutdown

The startup and shutdown of the HP-UX JDBC Monitor is normally controlled by the system startup and shutdown scripts. Thus as long as the machine is up and running, the JDBC Monitor will also be up.

The only time the monitor should ever be brought down is to install a newer version. In this case, use the monctrl command to kill the monitor process. Do not use the UNIX kill command, as this could render the server unable to start a new monitor process. The monctrl command to shut down the monitor is:

monctrl kill [portnumber]

The portnumber parameter is only necessary if the monitor you wish to shut down is not running on the default port number 31700.

To restart the monitor after it has accidentally terminated or was shut down, use the monctrl command to start it up:

monctrl start [portnumber]

Again, the portnumber parameter is only necessary if you wish to start the monitor on a port number other than the default port number 31700.
