ISSUE: Backup Service or Resource Monitor Fails

The Backup Service or Resource Monitor may fail if the Oracle user does not have write access to /etc/.java or staservd does not have write access to /etc/.java/.systemPrefs.

Symptom

The service fails with the following:

Error: java.util.prefs.BackingStoreException: Couldn't get file lock.

Resolution

Open a terminal session on the STA server and login as the root user.
Provide write access to the /etc/.java and /etc/.java/.systemPrefs directories. For example:
```
# chmod 777 /etc/.java
# chmod 777 /etc/.java/.systemPrefs
```
Switch to the Oracle user.
Stop the services daemon:
```
$ STA stop staservd
$ STA status staservd
```
You should see:
staservd service is shutdown
Start the services daemon:
```
$ STA start staservd
```
