Close an open patient
Pre-v16
- Open an xterm window
- Type RemoveStaleLock -l
- Find the Launchpad PID# listed by the patient’s name that is to be closed
- Type ptree LaunchpadPID# (e.g. ptree 28843)
- Find the line that shows something like 11705 /usr/local/adacnew/PinnacleStatic_9.0/bin/i386/Pinnacle -fg black -bg
- PinnacleStatic_9.0 should be the version of Pinnacle you are running (ex. P14 is “PinnacleStatic_14.0”)
- Type kill -9 11705, where 11705 is whatever number appears at the beginning of the line above.
V16+

- Open an Xterm window
- Type in ptree (PID)
- Kill -9 from the bottom of the results up
Check system usage
- Open an xterm window
- Type prstat -as size
Mount a NAS drive
- Ensure you are the root user
- Edit the /etc/hosts file to reflect the NAS location, the entry should be in the format of:
- [IP of NAS] [Hostname of NAS] #[Description of what this entry is]
- example: 123.43.54 PinnacleNAS #This is the location provided by IS for our patient archive
- Technically this is optional but its nice to track locations on your system and by using the hostname later on it affords your some flexibility.
- Edit the /etc/auto_DataSets to create the auto link entry. The format is as follows:
- [User defined link name] [path to NAS location]
- example: PatientArchive PinnacleNAS:/pinnacle/archieveLocation
- Change to the /var/yp directory and run the make command
- cd /var/yp; make
- Restart the auto-mounter
-
- svcadm -v restart svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default
-
- Switch users so you are no longer root. The example below assumes you are using the default p3rtp username
- If you are still root issue the following command
- su - p3rtp
- Navigate to the directory you want to create the auto mount point
- To create the auto mount point type the following
- ln -s /autoDataSets/[LinkName]
- where [LinkName] is the name you gave the link in your /etc/auto_DataSets entry
- example: ln -s /autoDataSets/PatientArchive
