CHAPTER 2
Starting and Stopping Servers
This chapter describes how to start and stop Adaptive Server, Backup
Server, Monitor Server, and XP Server.
Overview
The methods described in this chapter are used to start Adaptive Server,
Backup Server, and Monitor Server after a shutdown for database
maintenance, because of an operating system crash, or for other reasons.
XP Server is not started by the installation process. XP Server is started by
Adaptive Server when an XP command is issued through
isql.
You can use Sybase Central to start and stop servers manually or
automatically. For more information about Sybase Central, see “Chapter
1, Overview of System Administration,” in the System Administration
Guide.
Requirements for starting servers
To start a server, your user account must have:
• Anyone with access to the database servers (execute privileges) and
database devices (read/write privileges).
• Access to Adaptive Server distribution files
