To display the status of ExtremeWare XOS processes on the switch, including how many times a process
has been restarted, use the
show process {<name>} {detail} {description} {slot <slotid>}
command.
Depending on the software version running on your switch and the type of switch you have, you can
terminate different or additional processes. To see which processes you can terminate, enter
terminate
process
followed by [Tab]. The switch displays a list of available processes.
To restart a process that has been terminated, use the
start process
command.
NOTE
Do not terminate a process that was installed since the last reboot unless you have saved your configuration. If you
have installed a software module and you terminate the newly installed process without saving your configuration,
your module may not be loaded when you attempt to restart the process with the
start process
command.
You can also use the
terminate process
command when upgrading a software modular package. For
more information, see the section
“Upgrading a Modular Software Package”
in
Appendix A, “Software
Upgrade and Boot Options,”
of the
ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide
.
