3 Type

pgrep -fl cron

and then press

Enter

. The DNCS displays the cron process

ID (PID).

Examples

The following examples are examples of sample output. Your output

is likely to be different.



If the cron process is running without any child processes, you should see
something similar to this example:

pgrep -fl cron

209 /usr/sbin/cron



If the cron process has spawned a child process, you should see something
similar to this example:

pgrep -fl cron

209 /usr/sbin/cron
14651 sh -c /export/home/dncs/test/tst 2>&1
14652 sh -c /export/home/dncs/tst2 2>&1

Note:

The cron process may have spawned multiple child processes.

4 Use the cron PID from step 3 and type

ptree <PID>

and press

Enter

. The DNCS

displays the process tree of all cron processes.

5 Did the results from step 4 only include /usr/sbin/cron?



yes

, choose one of the following options:

–

On a Solaris 8 system, type

/etc/rc2.d/S75cron stop

and then press

Enter

–

On a Solaris 10 system, type

svcadm -v disable -s cron

and press

Ente



, (results from step 4 show multiple cron processes) type:

kill -9 <PIDs>

and press

Enter

Important:

List the PIDs in reverse order.

Example: kill -9 14652 14651 209

Note:

If the results from step 4 did not show /usr/sbin/cron, skip the rest of this

section and go to Ensuring No Active Database Sessions on the DNCS
(on page 20).

6 To confirm that the cron jobs have stopped, type

pgrep –fl cron

and press

Enter

Note:

The “l” in “fl” is a lowercase "L".

Result:

The command prompt should be the only item displayed; no processes

should be displayed.

7 If the results from step 7 show that the cron process is still running, repeat steps

4 through 7

Note:

Call Cisco Services for assistance, if necessary.

8 Type

exit

and press

Enter

to close the remote session and return to the DNCS
