try ps -ef | grep mini_el

Why do you want to reload it if it is allready loaded? Are you getting some errors accessing the Silo? Use ps -ef | grep mini and kill the existing mini_el if you want to load a new one.

i have already tried ps -ef | grep mini or ps -ef | grep mini_el
there is no mini_el running

It's not running i have checked in ps -ef , because mini_el is not running i am not able to connect with silo controller.........

Hmmm ... Try stopping NW, removing all files in /nsr/tmp and restarting NW.

tried the same but still the same problem

Try starting mini_el in debug mode to see what's going on.

mini_el -l logfile -d &

-l logfile Specifies the filename of the logfile to be created by mini_el. The default value is /nsr/logs/ssi_event.log.

-d Sets the debug flag. mini_el will output debug information

I suspect it may be checking for the existence of a lock file. The debug output should show you what it is checking for.

see if above helps. if not, you may consider rebooting the server and start mini_el and ssi from the command prompt and see if it takes you further.

I am getting following output in debug mode


root@thirumed1 # mini_el -l /nsr/logs/mini.log -d &
[1] 22432
root@thirumed1 # mini_el version 2.01 using /nsr/logs/mini.log as logfile

: calling strcpy from main...
mini_el: calling ELInit from main...

ELInit: sock_name = '50001'
mini_el: calling OpenSocket from ELInit...

OpenSocket: Debug: rval from bind() = -1

mini_el is unable to load, mini_el is probably already running.

I have tried after rebooting the server also but nothing helping me out
