  • Patent number: 7188343
    Abstract: A system and method for managing multiple server computer systems on a computer network. The functions of a central management server are distributed to multiple daemons executing independently of each other on one or more computer systems. Distributing the functions of the central management server to separate multiple daemons substantially improves the reliability of a multi-server management application.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 18, 2001
    Date of Patent: March 6, 2007
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    Inventors: Humberto A Sanchez, II, Douglas P. Drees, Richard Dale Harrah, Mary Thomas Robb, Terence E. Lister, Michael Scheetz, Miha Wang, Warren I Otsuka, Roger William Kumpf, Jenny Yu, Carol Ann Krug-Graves
  • Patent number: 7051210
    Abstract: A method and system for persisting and recovering security keys in order to authorize access to a network system is disclosed. Certain security keys are read from a file with root as the effictive user id in order to enable the reading of the keys. The certain security keys are placed into a local cache by the read process. If there are no errors in the read process, the certain security keys will preferably include a private key. If the private key is not in the cache (e.g., because there was an error in the read process) the authorization fails.

  • Patent number: 7043726
    Abstract: Binding processes in a network system involves monitoring the status of RMI processes by running a thread associated with a parent process. Each parent process in the network system is associated with a watchdog object that initiates a thread, the thread monitoring the status of RMI processes. If the thread determines that its associated parent process is not bound with an active RMI process, the thread automatically rebinds its parent process with an active RMI process.

  • Publication number: 20030033085
    Abstract: An embodiment of an object class test involves constructing objects from classes, developing a unit class test for each object, passing data into each object using the unit class test, and retrieving data from each object using the unit class test to determine if the object is functional. Accordingly, the object class test ensures that each object is functional before the objects are installed in a software development system. In addition, the object class test documents and implements source code necessary to produce standard output messages from the unit class test for each class, thus formalizing the object class test output into an easily parseable and human readable format.

  • Publication number: 20020165902
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of logging events independently and separately from other processes in a computer system are disclosed. A method for logging events by cloning a log entry submitted by a consumer and releasing control of the log entry to the consumer so that execution of an event may continue is disclosed. A log manager that receives requests for writing event log entries to a log file while enabling the execution of the event to continue independently is disclosed.
