Processes on the Palo.

Hi,

There are various processes that maybe restarted using the debug command. Most are self explanatory.

But whats the difference between l3-service and routed ? and webserver and management-server ? and vardata-receiver.

> device-server       Device server process

> l3-service          L3 services server process

> log-receiver        Log Receiver server process

> management-server   Management server process

> ntp                 Restart and re-synchronize NTP service

> pan-comm            Dataplane communication process

> rasmgr              SSL VPN daemon

> routed              Routing process

> snmpd               SNMP process

>sslvpn-web-server   SSL VPN Web server process

> user-id             User-ID process

> vardata-receiver    Vardata Receiver server process

> web-server          Web server process

Thanks ,

Sunil
