2.4.3 Running On-Demand With or Without the Daemon

When running on-demand, if the daemon is running, then the daemon answers all prompts where possible including the passwords.

To run health checks on-demand with or without the daemon:

1. To run health checks on-demand if the daemon is running, then use:

   $ ./orachk

   $ ./exachk

2. To avoid connecting to the daemon process, meaning the tool to interactively prompt you as required, use the –nodaemon option.

   $ ./orachk –nodaemon

   $ ./exachk –nodaemon

Note:

Daemon mode is supported only on the Linux and Solaris operating systems.

Note:

If you are running database pre-upgrade checks (-u –o pre) and if the daemon is running, then you must use the –nodaemon option.
