Command-line utilities are available to help you manage the process agents, processes, and services in a process control system.
The following table lists these command-line utilities.
| Utility | Description |
|---|---|
| nco_pa_status | This utility retrieves and displays the status
of services and processes that are being controlled by the process
agent. If a process is defined as unmanaged (Managed = False) in the process agent configuration file (nco_pa.conf), nco_pa_status can return a random status when it checks the process. For example, the returned status might be DEAD when the process is running correctly. This is not an error and it happens because the process agent starts unmanaged processes but does not monitor them. |
| nco_pa_start | This utility starts a service or process that is located anywhere in the configuration. |
| nco_pa_stop | This utility stops a service or process that is located anywhere in the configuration. |
| nco_pa_shutdown | This utility shuts down a process agent. |
| nco_pa_addentry | This utility adds a service or process entry while a process agent is running. |
