Prerequisites

You must have the modify administrative domain's configuration right to run the ctldaemon command.

Syntax

Syntax 1

Use the following syntax to suspend or resume scheduling.

ctldaemon::=

ctlda•emon --command/-c { suspend | resume }

Syntax 2

Use the following syntax to send a command to one or more daemons.

ctldaemon::=

ctlda•emon --command/-c { dump | reinitialize | debugon | debugoff } 
[ --host/-h hostname[,hostname]... ] [ daemon-id ]...

Semantics

--command/-c { suspend | resume }

Enables you to temporarily suspend and later resume the obscheduled daemon (Syntax 1). You can suspend obscheduled for troubleshooting purposes.

--command/-c { dump | reinitialize | debugon | debugoff }

Enables you to send a control command to an Oracle Secure Backup daemon (Syntax 2). Table 2-2 lists the --command values.

Table 2-2 Values for --command

Value	Meaning
`dump`	Directs the daemon to dump internal state information to its log file.
`reinitialize`	Directs the daemon to reread configuration data.
`debugon`	Directs the daemon to generate extra debugging information to its log file.
`debugoff`	Cancels debug mode. This is the default state.

--host/-h hostname ...

Specifies the name of a host on which the daemon is running. If omitted, then the local host is assumed.

daemon-id ...

Identifies an Oracle Secure Backup daemon, either a process id (PID) or service name. Possible service names are observiced, obscheduled, obrobotd, and obixd.

Example

Example 2-30 determines whether the obscheduled daemon is in a normal state and then suspends it.
