2.5.1 Starting and Stopping the Daemon

Start and stop the daemon and force the daemon to stop a health check run.

To start and stop the daemon:

To start the daemon, use the –d start option as follows:
```
$ ./orachk –d start
```
```
$ ./exachk –d start
```
The tools prompt you to provide required information during startup.
To stop the daemon, use the –d stop option as follows:
```
$ ./orachk –d stop
```
```
$ ./exachk –d stop
```
If a health check run is progress when you run the stop command, then the daemon indicates so and continues running.
To force the daemon to stop a health check run, use the –d stop_client option:
```
$ ./orachk –d stop_client
```
```
$ ./exachk –d stop_client
```

The daemon stops the health check run and then confirms when it is done. If necessary, stop the daemon using the –d stop option.
