Sometimes it’s helpful to run NetWorker in debug mode – but sometimes, you just want to throw the nsrmmd processes into debug mode, and depending on your site, there may be a lot of them.<\/p>\n
So, I finally got around to writing a “script” to throw all nsrmmd processes into debug mode. It hardly warrants being a script, but it may be helpful to others. Of course, this is Unix only – I’ll leave it as an exercise to the reader to generate the equivalent Windows script.<\/p>\n
The entire script is as follows:<\/p>\n
#!\/bin\/sh\n\nPLATFORM=`uname`\n\nif [ \"$PLATFORM\" = \"Linux\" ]\nthen\n\tPROCLIST=`ps -C nsrmmd -o pid | grep -v PID`\nelif [ \"$PLATFORM\" = \"SunOS\" ]\nthen\n\tPROCLIST=`ps -ea -o pid,comm | grep 'nsrmmd<\/pre>\nThe above is applicable only to Solaris and Linux so far – I’ve not customised for say, HPUX or AIX simply because I don’t have either of those platforms hanging around in my lab. To invoke, you’d simply run:<\/p>\n
\n# dbgnsrmmd.sh level<\/strong><\/pre>\nWhere level is a number between 0 (for off) and 99 (for … “are you insane???”). Running it on one of my lab servers, it works as follows:<\/p>\n
[root@nox bin]# dbgnsrmmd.sh 9<\/strong>\ndbgcommand -p 4972 Debug=9\ndbgcommand -p 4977 Debug=9\ndbgcommand -p 4979 Debug=9\ndbgcommand -p 4982 Debug=9\ndbgcommand -p 4991 Debug=9\ndbgcommand -p 4999 Debug=9<\/pre>\n<\/div>\nNote that when you invoke dbgcommand against a sub-daemon such as nsrmmd (as opposed to nsrd itself), you won’t get an alert in the daemon.{raw|log} file to indicate the debug level has changed.<\/div>\n| awk '{print $1}'` fi DBG=$1 for pid in $PROCLIST do echo dbgcommand -p $pid Debug=$DBG dbgcommand -p $pid Debug=$DBG done<\/pre>\nThe above is applicable only to Solaris and Linux so far – I’ve not customised for say, HPUX or AIX simply because I don’t have either of those platforms hanging around in my lab.
