Linux-UNIX: Start and stop S-TAP and GIM processes for various OS types/versions
Depending on the operating system type and version there are different methods used to start and stop Guardium processes. Learn how to start and stop the S-TAP® and GIM processes.
First identify the method relevant for your database in Table 1, then proceed to the relevant sub-section for the relevant commands.
When you stop the S-TAP or GIM from the database command line, the operating starts it again automatically.
Tip: You can also use the
guard-config-update utility to start and stop
the S-TAP, whether it was installed with GIM, RPM, or shell. When you use
guard-config-update, you don't need to know the relevant commands. See Linux-UNIX: Using guard-config-update to start, restart, and stop S-TAP, and view status.| OS | Version | Initialization method |
