errstop Command

Purpose

Terminates the error logging daemon.

Syntax

errstop

Description

Attention: Running the errstop command disables diagnostic and recovery functions. Normally the errdemon command is started automatically during system initialization and stopped during system shutdown. The error log should never be stopped during normal operations. The errstop command should only be used during special circumstances when it is absolutely required and the consequences are clearly understood.

The errstop command stops the error logging daemon initiated by the errdemon command.

Security

Access Control: Only a root user can run this command.

Examples

To terminate the errdemon daemon, enter:

/usr/lib/errstop
