Unable to start VoyenceControl voyence service
Receive the following error when trying to start VoyenceControl voyence service:
Device Server Service is already running... [FAILED]
After stopping VoyenceControl voyence service, status still shows as running
Cause
One or more of the child daemon processes under the voyence service is not stopping.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, you must determine which child daemon processes under the voyence service are still running, and manually stop them. This is done as follows:
Run ps afx on the server and look for the following process names: autodiscd cfgmgrd commmgrd evdispatchd syssyncd zebedee For each one found, note its Process ID, or pid, and kill it (the pid is found in the first column of the command output, see Notes): kill -9 pid If you find multiple processes, you can append them to the command: kill -9 pid [pid...] Restart the voyence service (it is normal for it to report failure when stopping): /etc/init.d/voyence restart
