Troubleshooting gated
Chapter 3102
NOTE In gated 3.5.9, the two statements in the Trace class (tracefile and
traceoptions) are combined into one traceoptions statement.
Therefore, the tracefile statement is eliminated. For details about the
new syntax, type man 4 gated.conf at the HP-UX prompt.
After tracing is started to a file, you can rotate the trace file. Receipt of a
SIGUSR1 signal stops gated from tracing and closes the trace file. The
trace file can then be moved out of the way. To send a SIGUSR1 signal to
gated, issue one of the following commands:
/usr/bin/kill -SIGUSR1
pid
or
/usr/bin/kill -USR1
pid
where
pid
is the gated’s process ID, determined by invoking the
command ps -ef | grep gated.
A subsequent SIGUSR1 signal starts tracing again to the same trace file.
If the trace options are changed before tracing is started again, the new
options are used.
NOTE You cannot use the SIGUSR1 signal if you did not previously specify
tracing to a file while starting gated.
Operational User Interface for gated – gdc
gdc provides a user-oriented interface for the operation of gated. It
provides the following functions:
• Starting and stopping gated.
• Delivery of signals to manipulate gated.
• Maintenance and checking the gated configuration file for syntax.
• Production and removal of state dumps and core dumps.
