In a terminal window, connect as root and do one of the following:
Start the watchdog process:
./psadmin sra-watchdog -u uid -f password-filename -t instance-type on |
[--adminuser | -u] uid |
Specifies the administrator's distinguished name (DN) or user ID. |
[-passwordfile | -f] password-filename |
Specifies the administrator's password in the password file. |
[--type | -t] instance-type |
Specifies the type of the Secure Remote Access instance. Enter: gateway, nlproxy, or rwproxy. |
For information on watchdog command, see the Sun Java System Portal Server Command Line Reference Guide.
This creates an entry in the crontab utility and the watchdog process is now active. The watchdog monitors all running instances of a Gateway on a particular machine and Gateway port and restarts the Gateway if it goes down.
