CORBA 2.6 Administration Guide

Running nsdstart

Before running nsdstart, be sure the required environment variable settings are in effect.

To run the nsdstart script, enter the following command at the OSS command prompt:

nsdstart

This command starts the set of processes that comprise the NonStop Services for CORBA. A message similar to

the following indicates that the processes have been started successfully:

gtacl[9]: warning: unable to propagate all environment variables

NSDOM runtime environment was started.

Alternatively, you can run the nsdstart script in a manner that produces additional output as the script is

executed by using the -v option as follows:

nsdstart -v

The additional output shows the script as it is executed. This mode of running nsdstart can be useful for

troubleshooting configuration errors.

To verify whether NonStop CORBA is running, type the following command (assuming NonStop CORBA is

installed in the default nsdoms directory):

ps e | grep nsd

You should see output similar to this:

56996660 ? 00:00 /usr/tandem/nsdoms/bin/ilsd

33095692 ? 00:00 /usr/tandem/nsdoms/bin/name_servant

84090631 ? 00:00 /usr/tandem/nsdoms/bin/lsd

66650123 ? 00:00 /usr/tandem/nsdoms/bin/cs

33095693 ? 00:00 /usr/tandem/nsdoms/bin/EventService

33095695 ? 00:00 /usr/tandem/nsdoms/bin/ird

33095696 ? 00:00 /usr/tandem/nsdoms/bin/NSotsTM

If you do not see output like this, you can restart the NonStop CORBA processes with the nsdstart script.

Running nsdstop

Before running nsdstop, be sure the required environment variable settings are in effect.

To run the nsdstop script, enter the following command at the OSS command prompt:

nsdstop

This command stops the set of processes that comprise the NonStop Services for CORBA. The nsdstop script

does not output a message when it completes.

How the nsdstart Script Works

Each time it is run, the nsdstart script does the following:

Sets the script variables that specify the NonStop CORBA process names, such as the process names for

the Comm Server and Naming Server.
