Starting and Stopping Sybase Control Center in UNIX

You can start Sybase Control Center or the SCC agent manually, which is useful for testing and troubleshooting, or you can set up a service to start automatically and to restart in case of failure.

This topic applies to both Sybase Control Center (the server) and the Sybase Control Center agent that runs on each product server managed by SCC. It applies to both singleton installations and instances of SCC agents and servers running from a shared disk.

If you start Sybase Control Center or the SCC agent manually, you must issue a command every time you start or shut down. If you run as a service (which is recommended), you can configure the service to start and restart automatically. These are the options:
  • Use the scc.sh script to start Sybase Control Center or the SCC agent manually. You can either:
    • Run scc.sh in the foreground to get access to the Sybase Control Center console, which you can use to shut down and to display information about services, ports, system properties, and environment variables.
    • Run scc.sh in the background to suppress the console.
    You can use scc.sh to run Sybase Control Center at a nondefault logging level for troubleshooting. When you start manually with scc.sh, you cannot take advantage of the automatic start and restart features available to services.
  • Use the sccd script to configure a service that starts Sybase Control Center or the SCC agent automatically.

Here are the steps for each starting and stopping option:
