Use the STA command to start, stop, or show the status of the services daemon. The services daemon, staservd
, is a continuously running Linux service that manages and runs the Backup and Resmon services.
The daemon must be running for the Backup or Resmon services to be available. The services run as separate execution threads within the STA services daemon. The Backup and Resmon services are disabled by default after STA installation. See Backup Service and Resource Monitor (Resmon) for details.
Display the status of the services daemon to verify it is running. The daemon must be running for the Backup and Resmon utilities to be available.
Open a terminal session on the STA server, and log in as the Oracle user.
Display the status of the daemon:
$ STA status staservd
You should see:
staservd service is running
If the daemon is not running, try stopping and then restarting it. See Stop and Restart the STA Services Daemon.
You may need to stop and restart the daemon to apply configuration changes made to the Resmon or Backup services. Stopping the daemon does not interrupt STA, but the Backup and Resmon services will be unavailable until the daemon is restarted.
By default, new service settings take effect when the service wakes from its sleep interval. However, stopping and restarting the daemon will apply the settings immediately.
Open a terminal session on the STA server, and log in as the Oracle user.
Stop the STA services daemon:
$ STA stop staservd
Verify the daemon has stopped:
$ STA status staservd
You should see:
staservd service is shutdown
Start the STA services daemon:
$ STA start staservd
Verify the daemon is running:
$ STA status staservd
You should see:
staservd service is running
