eventsubsystem - can you turn it off?

TS 6.5 Solaris 8

Am I missing something...

in /etc/iw.cfg

[event_subsystem]
ew_enable=false
ew_rollover_threshold=104857600

I stop and started /etc/init.d/iw.server

and the eventsubsystem still comes up

ew_enable=false only prevents iwserver from publishing events to the eventsubsystem. Other teamsite components could still publish events. To completely disable the eventsubsystem, you'll have to manually stop it. But this will mean that search wil not work. In order to completely stop the eventsubsystem, go the iw-home/eventsubsystem/bin and run "eventsubd.sh stop."

I see, that's interesting.

Can you provide examples of what other components would need the event sub system.

Can you tell me how search will stop directly?..
I understand we will lose incremental updates which we have turned off (running a scheduled job to index the content), but I was not aware that it would stop search all together.

Right now, we do not have access to a rdbms and we do want to use the default flat file database due to its limitations. Are you saying that we have no alternative but to use this feature, because I understood that we could turn it off.

running a commond to stop the event sub system concerns me, incase it does not happen after a reboot etc.

as far as stopping the eventsubd, if it's starting when the machine runlevel is changed, then it's most likely in the rc scripts ... i don't have a solaris implementation available right now so i can't tell you where exactly to look, but i would run this from /etc/init.d and you may get a hint:

find . -name "*" -exec grep eventsub {} \;

that'll search the contents of all the files for "eventsub" -- if you get an answer back ( i'm assuming you will ), you can just comment out the part in the appropriate file that starts up the eventsubd and you shouldn't have to worry anymore.

if you find the spot, maybe post back and help the next person this happens to..

/etc/init.d/iw.server is the script that contains entries for eventsubd

It's mentioned in two places - one for 'start' and one for 'stop'
