Stop any cron jobs that are currently running on the DNCS and the Application 
Server. This ensures that no applications or programs initialize during the 
installation process. Follow the instructions in this section to stop all cron jobs. 

Note:  Take note of what time you stop the cron jobs. You may need to manually run 
these applications or programs after the installation is complete. 

 

Complete the following steps to stop cron jobs on the DNCS. 

Note:  You need to be logged on to an xterm window on the DNCS as root user. 
1  Type the following command and press Enter. The system lists running 

processes that include the word "cron". 

2  Did the results from step 1 include /usr/sbin/cron? 

 

If yes, type the following command and press Enter. 

 

If no, go to Stopping the cron Jobs on the Application Server; the cron jobs 
are already stopped on the DNCS. 

3  Confirm that the cron jobs have stopped by typing the following command again 

and pressing Enter. The system should list only the grep process.
