A.5 Configuring the Daemon Mode

Use the daemon to configure automatic health check runs at scheduled intervals.

Note:

If you have an Oracle Engineered System, then in addition to the following usage steps, follow the system-specific instructions.

Set the daemon properties.
At a minimum, set AUTORUN_SCHEDULE and NOTIFICATION_EMAIL.

For example, to set the tool to run at 3 AM every Sunday and email the results to some.body@example.com, run the following command:
```
$ ./orachk –set “AUTORUN_SCHEDULE=3 * * 0 ;NOTIFICATION_EMAIL=some.body@example.com”
```
```
$ ./exachk –set “AUTORUN_SCHEDULE=3 * * 0 ;NOTIFICATION_EMAIL=some.body@example.com”
```
Configure the health check daemon.
Start the daemon as root (recommended) or as the Oracle Database or Oracle Grid Infrastructure home owner.
```
# ./orachk –d start
```
```
# ./exachk –d start
```
Answer the questions prompted during startup.
