What do you get when you try to stop/start it via st06 -> Operating system collector -> stop/start

Kind regards,

This might be related to a shared memory segment that is not being cleared. Check the following link: http://www.saptechies.com/os-collector-saposcol/

7. Question: How do I remove the shared memory key of saposcol?
Answer: Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the shared memory key of saposcol (see point 6).
Caution: Please be very careful! This procedure should be performed only after checking that saposcol is really not running (see point 4)
and only in cases when other options (see point 6) really do not work!
For this, execute command u201Cipcs -mau201D and note the line that contains saposcol key u201C4dbeu201D. You need the shared memory ID. After that, execute command
ipcrm -m ID
Now the command  u201Csaposcol -su201D should show that saposcol is not running and that the shared memory is not attached. The shared memory key will be created automatically by the saposcol when the collector is next started: u201Csaposcol -lu201D.

Kind regards,

Mark
