How to test for OD running?

RonaldV

Hi,

Is there a robust & solid to check whether opendeploy is running a certain od-config?

Check:
- must run on the OD-client machine
- must be done programmatically
- must be solid, scanning logfiles is not solid enough for me. :-)

Hope to hear from you.,

Hi,

The way to check for processes running in the stack is to check if the ports are resident
in netstat -na (on Unix, Win also has netstat -na) I think Tcpvcon is ok, at least is has a
command line interface which could be called from a script. I use netstat -na to produce
input to shell scripts which show just the OD processes on a Base or Receiver. As to finding
out what od config is running there, like a odrcvr.xml, no idea.

here's a snippet of very simple ksh which does the job:

if [ "`netstat -na| grep '*.9173' | grep -v 'grep'`" != "" ]; # assumes 9173 is running on localhost
then
echo "opendeploy rmiregistry listening on 9173!"
fi
if [ "`netstat -na| grep '20014' | grep -v 'grep'`" != "" ];
then
echo "opendeploy api listening on 20014!"
else
echo "opendeploy api down!"
fi

this can be executed from a cron and piped to mail which could be sent
to adminstrators if failures are present.
