You can use Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator to
send a UNIX signal to a process.
About this task
For example, you might want a probe to re-read its rules
file. To do this, send a SIGHUP(1) signal to the probe process.
To
send a signal to a process:
Procedure
Perform any of the following actions
from Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator:
If you are connected to the process
agent and the Service/Process Details pane is
open, go to the next step.
If not already connected,
connect to the process agent. On successful connection, the Service/Process
Details pane opens.
If you are connected to the
process agent, but the Service/Process Details pane
is not currently on display, click the Status icon
in the Configuration window for the process agent, to view this pane.
Select the process to which you want to send a signal and
then click Send Signal in the toolbar. The Send Signal window opens.
Complete this window as follows:
Process Name
Select the process to which the signal should be sent.
Signal
Select the signal that you want to send. Valid signals include:
SIGHUP(1): Hangup signal to stop and restart a process
SIGINT(2): Interrupt signal
SIGTERM(15): Terminate signal
On Windows, the SIGINT(2) and SIGTERM(15) signals
are supported only on Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus processes; for example,
ObjectServers, proxy servers, and probes. You can alternatively use
the other available methods for stopping processes. When a probe is
running under process control, the SIGHUP(1) signal can be
used to make the probe re-read its rules file.
Confirm or cancel your changes as follows:
OK
Click this button to close the window and send the signal to the
selected process.
Apply
Click this button to send the signal to the selected process and
keep the window open.
Cancel
Click this button to close the window without sending a signal.
