Start and stop Teamcenter Key Manager daemons

On Linux, Teamcenter Key Manager servers and satellites run as daemons. Running these scripts requires root access. The server and satellite scripts are located in the following Teamcenter Key Manager installation directories respectively: $INSTALL_DIR/KeyManagerServer/ $INSTALL_DIR/KeyManagerSatellite/ Each script has the following form: script_name {-status | -start | -stop | -h} Where script_name The script related to a particular daemon: key_manager_server Controls rc.key.manager.server., the Teamcenter Key Manager server daemon (primary and secondary servers). key_manager_ca_server Controls rc.key.manager.ca.server., the Teamcenter Key Manager Certificate Authority server daemon. key_manager_admin rc.key.manager.admin., the Teamcenter Key Manager Administration application daemon. key_manager_satellite rc.key.manager.satellite., the Teamcenter Key Manager satellite daemon. -status Displays the related daemon's current status. -start Starts the related daemon. -stop Stops the related daemon. -h Displays help for the script. Unresponsive Teamcenter Key Manager satellite daemons If a Teamcenter Key Manager satellite is not shut down properly on a Linux machine prior to a reboot, related Teamcenter applications connecting to the satellite may experience a hang (become unresponsive or unable to connect to the satellite). This may occur because a named pipe that is deleted during a proper shutdown has not been deleted. When the Key Manager satellite restarts, it cannot create a new named pipe due to the existence of the old named pipe. Manually delete the named pipe using the following steps: Procedure Stop the Key Manager satellite. Locate the old named pipe. The named pipe is defined with the KEY_MANAGER_PIPE property in KeyManagerSatellite.properties. The default location for the named pipe is /tmp/tctp. Delete the old named pipe. Restart the Key Manager satellite. Run the following command from the Key Manager satellite installation directory to verify that Key Manager is functioning properly: Copy %INSTALL_DIR%\KeyManagerSatellite\key_manager_client_test_connection
