Good morning to all...
Just a quick (sorta) question for the group this am....
I am having an odd problem here that unfortunately, I have seen
before, but have not found a fix for and would like to get some
input on. I am not able to connect to one of my servers using the
Server Admin GUI app. It never times out or gives an error, but it
never updates either. It just sits there with the "green dot" with
the dots in it. I have seen this before on some other servers that
a colleague manages, and the only thing we have found that fixes
it, at least short term is the reboot the server. The interesting
part is I am able to use the serveradmin command line app and get a
status of the services that are working, so it seems that just the
GUI part isn't connecting correctly. Things were of course working
fine on Friday when I left... :-) I am not seeing anything out of
the ordinary in the logs, and the server is working fine otherwise,
but it would be nice to keep an eye on it and to be able to make
changes to the services when needed.
Now the server details.....
Mac Pro running 10.4.10 server, 2.66GHz CPUs, 2GB RAM. No software
updates have been run since October 18th, when I installed this
server.
The other colleague that is having this same issue is running the
same OS, but on and Intel XServe.
If you need more info, or I forgot something, please just ask.
Also, could you please cc me since I only get the daily digest of
this list??
Thanks in advance for any help!

If no response from Server monitor remotely or locally
and /or no response from Serveradmin tools, again remotely or locally
servermgrd may have fallen over
RESTART SERVERMGRD
ps -guax | grep servermgrd
If no response then
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
com.apple.servermgrd.plist
If servermgrd is running then
kill -HUP 15551 (where 15551 is PID of servermgrd)

Tony,
Thanks for the quick reply. I will admit that I found it odd that
the servermgrd process wasn't showing up, so I tried the launchctl
command and it returned an error saying it was already running. So
then when I run the ps command again, it says it is running, but
still can't connect to the server via server admin locally or
remotely. I tried to kill the process so I could restart it, but
it won't die. See below for a clip from my terminal window.
Thanks!
Vern
