Cisco BAC Process Watchdog
For example:
• Process A fails.
• The Cisco BAC process watchdog server sends an SNMP trap informing the critical condition
associated with the process A.
• The Cisco BAC process watchdog server attempts to restart it and the first restart fails.
• The Cisco BAC process watchdog server waits for 2 seconds, and attempts to restart it and the
second restart fails.
• The Cisco BAC process watchdog server waits for 4 seconds, and attempts to restart it and the third
restart succeeds.
• The Cisco BAC process watchdog server sends the SNMP trap to the trap receiver informing the
change in state of process A.
Using Cisco BAC Process Watchdog from the Command Line
The Cisco BAC watchdog agent automatically starts whenever the system boots up. Consequently, this
watchdog also starts those Cisco BAC system components installed on the same system. You can also
control the Cisco BAC watchdog through a simple command-line utility by running the
/etc/init.d/bprAgent command.
Table 9-1 describes the command line interface commands available for use with the Cisco BAC
watchdog process.
