Starting the DS Server engine

[jtenshaw]

What do the "dshome/bin/uv -admin -start" and "dshome/bin/uv -admin -stop" commands do to start/stop the DS server engine. Does it basically make a call to /etc/rc2.d/S99ds.rc? If not, what's the difference between the two? Thanks.

The uv -admin command executes $DSHOME/sample/ds.rc (on most systems the entries in /etc/rc2.d and so on are symbolic links to the script in sample).

The difference is that uv -admin has more options available, which go off and do other things, for example uv -admin -version or uv -admin -info commands.

Code: Select all

uv [-admin option]
        -autostart  [on|off]    enable/disable autostart feature
        -clearshm               clear BASIC catalog bit.
        -freeLOGSEM             release LOGSEM semaphore.
        -impersonation [on|off] enable/disable impersonation mode
        -info                   implementation information
        -lic_report             display licensing information.
        -regen      {opts}      generate configuration file.
        -reset      {opts}      reinitialize shared memory.
        -start      [force]     start DSEngine. (force if lockfile exists)
        -stop       [nowait]    shutdown DSEngine (nowait on segments).
        -version                display version number.
        -Lock                   Suspend file I/O.
        -Report                 Current suspension status.
        -Unlock                 Unsuspend file I/O.

The uv -admin -info command includes, among other things, the "autostart links" and the actual startup script's pathname.

Great, thanks Ray!

Ray, what manual has the UV command options descriptions?

Thanks,
