Info

Version: 2.6.1 OS : CentOS 6.x, Amazon linux I am trying to turn off the mongod service on one of my servers. #chkconfig mongod off #chkconfig --list mongod mongod 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off However on reboot i notice that the mongod service is running. Doesn't look like the chkconfig config is respected by the mongod server.

As you can see, there's no mongod process so chkconfig did indeed disable starting mongod. Do you have any other questions or problems that should be addressed in this ticket? You can generally get more help if you email the user group which has a wider audience of people who can help with issues like this. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mongodb-user dharshanr@scalegrid.net commented on Fri, 13 Jun 2014 00:53:08 +0000: Here you go [root@ip-172-31-36-150 ec2-user]# ps auwx | grep mongod root 1250 0.0 0.0 152344 1540 ?

If this is still an issue for you, can you please provide the information Ernie requested above? Thanks, Ramón. ernie.hershey@10gen.com commented on Wed, 28 May 2014 22:10:05 +0000: The symlinks under /etc/rc.d look like the chkconfig command did what it was supposed to. Can you run "ps auwx | grep mongod" and show the output? You can also run this to see if another script under /etc/init.d is starting it: grep -r mongod /etc/init.d Can you provide more detail on the MMS agent you have installed? How did you install it? What's the version? dharshanr@scalegrid.net commented on Wed, 28 May 2014 01:27:12 +0000: Here are the results after I disable the service and reboot. "service status mongod" says the service is stopped but the mongod process is running.

We'll keep trying but can you post the output of the command I mentioned? Can you also show the output of "ps" or the command you're using to tell that the process is running? dharshanr@scalegrid.net commented on Tue, 27 May 2014 20:58:42 +0000: That would be my guess as well. I have the mongodb monitoring agent installed on the box. If I do "service mongod status" it shows up as "stopped" but the mongod process is running. Is it possible that somehow the MMS agent is trigger the process manually. It is very simple to repro 1) Install mongod server, mongod shell, tools on box 2) Disable the mongod process - "chkconfig mongod off" 3) Reboot the box ernie.hershey@10gen.com commented on Tue, 27 May 2014 19:44:11 +0000: dharshanr@scalegrid.net - is it possible something other than the normal mongod init script is starting up mongod? To help troubleshoot, can you post the output of this command? find /etc/ -name \*mongod -ls
