Starting and Stopping the FTAM System

The HP OSI Transport Services (OTS/9000) startup procedure automatically starts the ftam_resp daemon (HP FTAM responder). You may occasionally need to start or stop only the FTAM portion of the system.

	NOTE: Bringing down the FTAM portion of the HP OSI network system is destructive and abruptly terminates any activity using the VFS associated with the local responder.

Using the shutdown option of ftam_resp does not kill user programs or ftam_init processes, though they will encounter unexpected errors when you bring down the system. You must be superuser to shutdown the FTAM responder, as follows.

$ /opt/ftam/lbin/ftam_resp -shutdown

To re-start only the FTAM portion of the HP OSI network system, first ensure the system is running. Also, execute the ps(1) command to ensure that no FTAM responder daemons (ftam_resp) are running; if they are, execute the above shutdown command. You must be superuser to re-start ftam_resp, as follows.

$  /opt/ftam/lbin/ftam_resp
