Starting and stopping a listener

You can stop and start a listener process from within PATROL. To start or stop listeners, the PATROL user account must either be in the DBA group or have permissions to write to the directory where the Oracle Net listener log files are located. If the PATROL user account lacks these privileges, you cannot start or stop the listener process.

To stop a listener, choose Stop Listener from the LISTENER menu. Any confirmation messages appear in a task output window, and the specific listener process is stopped.
