HP WBEM Services for HP-UX and Linux System Administrator's Guide

Installing and Setting up HP WBEM Services
Starting and Stopping HP WBEM Services
Chapter 5 53
On startup, you have the option of including parameters to specify
configuration property values, but these settings will last only as long as
the current process. Use the format <
propertyName >=< value >. For a
more lasting value, change the shutdown timeout property value with
cimconfig.
For a list of properties and their default value, see the man page for the
cimconfig command.
One configuration value, shutdownTimeout, is only valid with
cimserver -s, the shutdown form. (And it is the only property that the
stop form can use.) That timeout value is only used for that particular
shutdown. Specify the amount of time for a graceful shutdown; after
timeout passes, CIM Server will kill all processes, finished or not.
You must be a privileged user (have root permissions on the local system)
to use the cimserver command.
cimserverd (HP-UX Only)
The cimserverd daemon automatically restarts the cimserver process
if it fails. However, it will not restart cimserver if it was stopped by a
user command.
cimserverd is intended for HP WBEM Services, not for users. Users
start the CIM Server with the cimserver command.
Privileged users can reset the timing, however. By default, cimserverd
checks the status of the cimserver process every 30 seconds. To adjust
the time between checks, edit the value in the
/etc/opt/wbem/cimserver_retry.conf file. After editing the file, you
must kill the process to force cimserverd to read the file:
1. Find the cimserverd PID (process identification number), using ps
- ef |grep cimserverd
2. Kill the process, using kill -9 < pid_number >
3. cimserverd will automatically respawn, because it has an entry in
/etc/inittab
