Introduction
When sites are being upgraded, the dhctStatus utility may occasionally be actively
polling DHCTs, and the signonCount and cmd2000 utilities may be active in system
memory. Upgrades proceed more smoothly when the dhctStatus utility is not
actively polling DHCTs and when the signonCount and cmd2000 utilities are not in
system memory. The procedures in this section guide you through the steps
required to terminate the polling activity of the dhctStatus utility, as well as to
remove the signonCount and cmd2000 utilities from system memory.
