Process Utmp Service Health

Microsoft.Solaris.10.Process.Utmp.Monitor (UnitMonitor)

Solaris 10 Process Utmp Monitor

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This process monitor watches for the utmpd daemon to be running.

Causes

A failure indicates that the utmpd service on the system is down.

Resolutions

Check the service on the system by running ps -ef | grep utmpd or by viewing the diagnostic in the Operations Manager Console. If it is down, you can start the process using the command "svcadm restart utmp" or by clicking the recovery link in the Operations Manager Console.

For root cause analysis, first check the system logfile (/var/adm/messages), and view any related entries at the time of failure. You may also check the system for any process core files. Use '/usr/bin/pstack [corefile]' to print a stack trace which will assist in troubleshooting the cause of failure.
