Checking FSE Processes
The status of FSE daemons can be monitored using the fse command. Apart from checking the status, this
command is also used for starting and stopping the FSE daemons. Starting and stopping actions are only
allowed to be executed by an FSE administrator, but all users can do a status check.
You can check the status of locally running FSE daemons by running the fse command with the
--status option:
The output of this command depends on the type of FSE implementation.
The next section contains outputs of the fse --status command when it is run on a particular
component of the FSE implementation. You should check the status of the FSE daemons and verify that the
output you get corresponds to the appropriate example.
Checking FSE daemons is the last step of the basic installation process. However, it is strongly
recommended that you also perform the post-installation steps described in the next section.
For a description of configuration procedures, see the FSE user guide.
