3.7.2 Check that service/process has stopped

Description

This operation component confirms whether a service or process has stopped.

If the specified host is Windows, confirm whether the specified service has stopped.

If the specified host is Linux or Solaris, confirm whether the specified process has stopped.

Options

Basic Options

(1) hostname

Host name or IP address of the host that will confirm the stop status of a service or process.

To confirm the stop status of a service or process on the Management Server, specify the following:

  • For IPv4: 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1'

  • For IPv6: 'localhost' or '::1'

An argument error occurs if the host name or IP address is omitted.

The maximum length of the host name or IP address is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(2) service

Name of the service whose stop status is to be confirmed. Specify the service name of windows.

An argument error occurs if the service name is omitted.

The maximum length of the service name is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

Specify service name to confirm the stop status as follows:

For example: Dhcp

(3) process

Name of the process whose stop status is to be confirmed.

An argument error occurs if the process name is omitted.

The maximum length of the process name is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

Specify process name to confirm the stop status as follows:

For example: sshd

Advanced Options

(1) ostype

OS type of the host that will confirm that the service or process has stopped.

Specify Windows, Linux or Solaris. This option is not case sensitive.

If the OS type is omitted, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) will be searched based on the specified host name or IP address, and Systemwalker Runbook Automation automatically sets the acquired OS type as the value.

The maximum length of the OS type is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(2) username

Name of the user connecting with SSH to the host where the stop status of a service or process is to be confirmed.

If the connected user name and password required for connection are not specified, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is searched based on the specified host name or IP address and Systemwalker Runbook Automation automatically sets the acquired connected user name as the value.

If the operation component connects with the file transfer infrastructure, the connected user name will be fixed at either of the following names and cannot be changed. In this case, the user name is ignored even if specified

  • If the Business Server is running on Windows: SYSTEM user

  • If the Business Server is running on Linux or Solaris: root

The maximum length of the connected user name is 1,024 characters. Argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(3) password

Password of the user connecting with SSH to the host where the stop status of a service or process is to be confirmed.

If the connected user name and password required for connection are not specified, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is searched based on the specified host name or IP address and Systemwalker Runbook Automation automatically sets the acquired connected user name as the value.

If it connects with file transfer infrastructure, the connected user password is invalid.

The maximum length of the connected user password is 1,024 characters. Argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(4) execusername

Name of the user executing the confirmation of the stop status on the host where the stop status of a process is to be confirmed.

If the "execusername" and "execpassword" are not specified, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is searched based on the specified host name or IP address and Systemwalker Runbook Automation automatically sets the acquired administrator user as the value.

If not to register to CMDB, it is executed by name of the user connecting.

If the host specified in "hostname" is running on Windows and it connects with the file transfer infrastructure, execute the command as a SYSTEM user. In this case, the connected user name is invalid.

The maximum length of the user name is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(5) execpassword

This operation component does not use the value of "execpassword". The value of "execpassword" is ignored even if specified.

(6) timeout

This is the completion timeout (seconds) for the execution of operation components.

Values between 300 and 86400 (1 day) can be specified.

For example: When timeout is to occur every 10 minutes: 600

When the execution of the operation components is not completed even if the specified time passes, the processing of the operation components is interrupted in return value 201.

(7) retry

This is the retry count for the execution of operation components.

When the operation components end in return value 161, the retry count is specified. Values between 0 and 5 can be specified.

As a result of retrying, if the operation components ended by the return values other than 161, the execution of the operation components ends even if it doesn't reach the specified retry count. The return values of the operation components become the value executed at the end.

For example: When retries are to be performed twice: 2

(8) retry_interval

This is the retry interval (seconds) for operation components.

When the operation components end in return value 161, the retry interval is specified. Values between 1 and 14400 can be specified.

For example: When retrying in 300 seconds: 300


If the specification of the timeout, retry and retry_interval is omitted, and a value beyond the limits of the above-mentioned is input, the value specified with the operation components definition file becomes effective. Refer to "2.5 Definition File for Operation Components" for details.

Return Values

Name

Return value

Description

Stop

0

The service or process is stopped.

Running

161

The service or process has running. Retried if a retry count has been specified.

Failure

179

Failed to find the service.

187

Authentication failed when an attempt was made to connect to the Business Server over the network (using SSH).

Alternatively, an error occurred during the processing of communications with the Business Server (file transfer infrastructure). In this case, the error code for the file transfer infrastructure is output to the execution results. Refer to "3.21 Detailed Code of File Transfer Infrastructure" for information on error codes.

188

When an operation component was performing an operation on a Business Server where an RBA Agent has not been installed, the network communications (SSH) with the Business Server was closed.

189

An attempt to connect to the Business Server over the network (using SSH) failed.

Alternatively, an error occurred during the processing of communications with the Business Server (file transfer infrastructure). In this case, the error code for the file transfer infrastructure is output to the execution results. Refer to "3.21 Detailed Code of File Transfer Infrastructure" for information on error codes.

197

There is an error in the input information.

200

Failed to confirm stop status of service or process.

-

-

201

Execution of operation component timed out.

202

The operation component was not executed. There is a problem in the setting to execute operation components.

203

Failed to execute the operation component. There is a problem in the Operation Automation Server environment.

205

The operation component was not executed. There is a problem with the input information specification of the operation component.
