KB13293: How to obtain the process ID (PID) of the MicroStrategy Intelligence Server Universal process running on Unix/Linux.

The Process ID (PID) of the Strategy Intelligence Server Universal  process running on Unix/Linux can be obtained in one of the following ways:
 

• Run the following command:
  ps -ef ¦ grep "MSTRSvr"
  
• Note that the character before grep is the broken pipe character on the keyboard. The results will appear as shown below. In this example, the PID is 1806402
   
  # ps -ef ¦ grep MSTRSvr
  tester 1806402 1 0 Aug 24 - 80:49 /home/tester/AIX/bin/MSTRSvr -w /home/tester/BIN/AIX -t status-iserver.xml /home/tester/AIX/lib/libMSTRSvr2.a -n CastorServer
  
• Alternatively, run the following command from the 'bin' folder in the Strategy home folder, and check the process_id field:
  ./mstrctl -s IntelligenceServer gs
