Disabling the cron using the CLI

If a device is being tested, or if faults are being injected into a device intentionally, you can temporarily stop notifications for a specified device. When you disable a specific agent, you stop that agent but other devices continue to be monitored.

  1. Execute ras_install.
  2. See "Running the ras_install script" for more information.

  3. Select P to postpone the execution of rasagent from the cron.
  4. This removes the cron entry that starts the agent every five minutes.


    Note -

    This step does not immediately stop any existing agent execution of the. To ensure all activity has ended, use the ps command. For example:

    # ps -ef | grep ras
