Starting servers when the operating system restarts
20 Adaptive Server Enterprise
Using the startserver command
To start a server from the command line, enter:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/startserver [ -f RUN_server_name file ]
where $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/startserver is the full path name of the
startserver utility, and RUN_server_name file is the full path name of the
RUN_server_name file (usually
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/RUN_server_name).
If your Adaptive Server is named SYBASE, the RUN_server_name file
specification is optional.
You must have read and write permissions on the master device for an Adaptive
Server to start it with
startserver. For more information about startserver, see
the Adaptive Server Utility Guide.
Using the monserver and backupserver commands
Use the monserver command to start Monitor Server from the UNIX command
line. For details, see the Adaptive Server Enterprise Monitor Server User’s
Guide.
Starting servers when the operating system restarts
This section describes how to configure your operating system for automatic
restart of Adaptive Server and Backup Server.
On production systems, Adaptive Server, Backup Server, and Monitor Server
should restart automatically when the UNIX operating system starts. This is
accomplished by making an entry for the server in the operating system start-
up script. Monitor Server must be listed after Adaptive Server in the start-up
script.
For more information on starting Monitor Server at operating system restart,
see the Monitor Server User’s Guide.
Note The startup script must set up all the required Sybase environment
variables, or source SYBASE.csh or SYBASE.sh, before starting the server.
