Monitoring a Domain

To detect any orphaned application server processes, a server process, PSWATCHSRV, monitors the application server domain. Every two minutes, PSWATCHSRV identifies and stops any hung or orphaned server processes. If any hung or orphaned processes are found, it writes a message to the application server log file.

The PSWATCHSRV process is the first process to start when you boot up the domain and the last one to stop when you shut down the domain.
