When Business Objects Enterprise Reporting services are installed on Linux, you need a way to make sure that the services are running since you don't have CCM on that platform.

Here are some ways to check that the services are running on linux:

• run ps aux | grep -i boe
• Look for errors during service start, for example:
  

    /etc/init.d/BobjEnterprise115 start
        Starting MySQL server...
        Starting all servers...
        Starting cms...
        Starting pageserver...
        Starting cacheserver...
        Starting input...
        Starting output...
        Starting destjobserver...
        Starting lovjobserver...
        Starting reportjobserver...
        Starting programjobserver...
        Starting webijobserver...
        Starting eventserver...

• Look at /opt/novell/zenworks/share/boe/bobje/serverpids, to see the pid files for all the services that are running.
