Stop nxlog service | Log collection solutions

#1 Mareknejedly 5 years ago

Hi,

I have installed community version on Linux 18.04 AMD 64 and I encountered problem with stopping NX Log service. When I hit "sudo service nxlog stop", the command process but the service still persist. When I hit "sudo service nxlog status", the result is: ● nxlog.service - LSB: logging daemon Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/nxlog; generated) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2019-01-27 16:50:34 CET; 33s ago Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) Process: 8744 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/nxlog start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Tasks: 7 (limit: 2321) CGroup: /system.slice/nxlog.service └─30012 /usr/bin/nxlog

Could you please advice me how I can stop it and run it again? Is the service working right when I do "sudo service nxlog status"?

Thank you for all your advice.

Kind regards,

Marek

This leads me to believe that it was already running or hung.
Verify with the ps command with something like ps ax| grep nxlog. If it is indeed not running, just remove the pid file at /run/nxlog/nxlog.pid and start it again. Possibly an unclean shutdown.
