processes start on their own (even with a shutdown)

[Former Member]

Hello all,

When starting a machine with PI 7.1 and MOBILE 7.1 on it, if I do a

ps -ef | grep sap, I see the following listed below. This showed up after shutting down the machine. Nothing has been started. Again, when starting a machine, these pop up.

What is this?? How can one shut these down?

Any help, hints or advice is GREATLY appreciated

TIA

Hi,

When you stop the sapsystem then these services dont stop as the service

fdxadm 3829 1 0 09:39 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sap/fdx/SCS91/exe/sapstartsrv pf=/usr/sap/fdx/SYS/profile/fdx_SCS91_scar -D -u fdxadm

Is for SAPMMC that you can check through URL http://hostname:5XX13. where xxis the instance no.If you want you can kill it fource fully kill -9 and the process idof it.

root 4352 1 0 09:39 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/saphostexec pf=/usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/host_profile

It controls all of the functions for which a special user of this type are required, such as the operating system collector saposcol and sapacosprep. It is connected to sapstartsrv in host mode

root 4425 1 0 09:39 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/saposcol -l pf=/usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/host_profile

This service you need to stop manually saposcol -k.this helps you in getting the details in ST06 transaction.This may or may not stop at the time og stopsap.Do you have two SID on one server.

Thanks

The sapstartsrv is as mentioned the process to use the MMC (known from windows). Hostctrl is the new saposcol coming with NW 7.1.

They are started with the sapinit script, or when you do a startsap. The sapinit script can be found, depending on your operation system, for example in /etc/init.d/sapinit or /sbin/init.d/sapinit

Regards, Michael

Edit:

To stop them, you can use root# /sbin/init.d/sapinit stop

Or as sidadm > sapcontrol -nr 00 -function StopService (where 00 is your instance number)

The init script should be executed on server shutdown, so you might have to recreate the links in rc2.d or the sapinit script is completely missing.
