How to Verify if a Process was Restarted Manually

Details

When a process restarts, it may be useful to know if it occurred automatically or due to manual intervention

This can be verified by looking at the masterd.log file:

1. Open a CLI session to the firewall.
2. Use one of the following two commands to read the masterd.log file:

• > less mp-log masterd.log
• > tail mp-log masterd.log

In the following example, the routed process was restarted manually:

2014-08-26 13:43:35.194 +0200 INFO: routed: received user restart

2014-08-26 13:43:35.194 +0200 INFO: routed: User restart reason - triggered by CLI

2014-08-26 13:43:35.195 +0200 INFO: routed: received user stop
