Scott,
If the map is open for R/W there is a lock file in the /usr/OV/databases/openview/mapdb/MAP_NAME/map.lock, where MAP_NAME is the name of your map. You could test for the existence of this file.

Subject: RE: [nv-l] netviewd daemon behavior
Thanks for the answer Don. In my scripts I used to check for daemon issues
by performing a /usr/OV/bin/ovstatus | grep NOT and if I got a return I
would page. Now that the netviewd daemon is there and either running or not
running as normal behavior, does anyone have any suggestions as how to
perform daemon status check in scripts and ignore the netviewd daemon?
Thanks,

Scott,
Anytime you have the Read/Write map open, the netviewd daemon is stopped.
Starting NetView with the "netview -dconsole" switch stops the netviewd
daemon.
The netviewd daemon's purpose in life is to run the R/W map when no one else
is using it.

NetView 7.1.3 - AIX 4.3.3
I am a little confused about the behavior of the netviewd daemon. I have it
set to automatically start and it does, but I have health scripts that check
for stopped daemons and from time to time netviewd is not running and when
an ovstatus is performed on that daemon, it reports that it exited normally.
Should the netviewd daemon stop on its own and what is the condition where
this might happen?
Thanks,
