No Tarry,

I tried using onsctl. Though the onsctl ping gives output as "ons is running ...", when I run either crs_stat -t or srvctl, ONS still says OFFLINE/daemon not running, respectively.

Of course, this is not a "mandatory" node app, but Iam a bit intrigued on how it could go down, and not come up even on restart/reboot.

I'll keep you posted.

Thanks a lot for the help, again.

Regards
Suhas
