In order to determine the status of IRP components or to start, stop and restart them standard Linux utilities are used.
Critical errors preventing startup of a particular component are logged to console. Details can be obtained from logs stored in /var/log/irp/ directory.
Managing software components in OS with systemd #
Starting single component:
systemctl start explorer
Multiple components separated by space can be listed
Stopping single component:
systemctl stop explorer
Multiple components separated by space can be listed
Starting all components:
systemctl start irp.target
This also starts all prerequisites
Stopping all components:
systemctl start irp-shutdown.target
Stopping all components except bgpd:
systemctl start irp-shutdown-except-bgpd.target
Restarting all components:
systemctl start irp-shutdown.target
systemctl start irp.target
Obtaining overall status of all components:
systemctl list-dependencies irp.target
Individual statuses can be checked by executing command
systemctl status component_name
