Title: When upgrading FlashNet on Linux, batchd and scheduler do not get upgraded -WORKAROUND
Updated: February 2008
 

Overview
When upgrading FlashNet on Linux, you may find that the scheduler and batchd binaries do not get upgraded. This is due to the method of the installation on this platform, which does not allow running processes to be upgraded.

Workaround

To ensure that the binaries get updated, please make sure that you stop the batchd and scheduler processes. First run a ps - ef | grep command to find the process id of each process, then run a kill command on those process ids to stop the processes:

# ps -ef | grep batchd

# ps -ef | grep scheduler

(for the sake of example, assume that the batchd process id returned is 1010 and the scheduler process id is 2020).

#kill 1010 2020

Run the ps -ef | grep commands once more to make sure that the processes are no longer running. Then begin the upgrade.
