An example of the contents from the /tmp/ACMWatchdog.log file is shown below:

The ACM Watchdog service is enabled by default during the RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle installation using the /etc/init.d/aveksa_watchdogscript and is started in run levels 3 and 5. To see if the Watchdog is enabled, execute ps -ef | grep Watchdog as the oracle user. If the Watchdog is enabled, you will see:
$ ps -ef | grep Watchdog root 19779 1 0 05:17 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/ACMWatchdog.sh
The ACM Watchdog may be stopped and started with the following commands executed as the oracle user:
$ sudo service aveksa_watchdog stop $ sudo service aveksa_watchdog start
Use the chkconfig command to change the run-level for the script. For more information on modifying the run level and/or disabling the Watchdog upon system startup, please refer to KB-1388 How to disable the automatic starting of ACM on system boot.
