Alarm text

Application <name> not started, parm file errors

Cause

Since an application’s specified location in watchd.conf is incorrect, Watchdog cannot start the application.

Proposed Solution

Procedure

  1. To verify the alarm, locate the application name or process ID (PID):
    1. From the web interface, select Diagnostics > View System Logs > Watchdog Logs.
    2. From the Linux command line, enter logv -w or by examining the /var/log/ecs/wdlog log file.
  2. Check if the file named in the log exists and is executable.

    To locate the executable file of the application, enter the Linux command:

    ls -l /opt/ecs/sbin/appl

    If the executable is present, Linux returns a symbolic link to its location.

  3. If the file is present:
    1. Enter ls -l on the symbolic link address.
    2. Check if the file has execute permissions. If the file does not have execute permissions, enter chmod +x to enable execution of the application.

      If the file is not present, Linux has returned a null link.

    3. Acquire the executable from the distribution.
  4. Check if the string in watchd.conf is correct.
  5. Enter start -s application to start the application.
  6. Manually clear the alarm:
    1. From the Web interface, select Current Alarms and the appropriate alarm, and click Clear.
    2. From the Linux command line, enter almclear -n #id.
