Starting the Server Using the Startup Utility

The start_iq command starts the named server as a background process, starts the named database if you specify it, and sets all required startup options.

Change to a writable directory.
At the system prompt, enter:
```
start_iq servername [ database ]
```

If you do not specify the database, you must use -n <server name> or the server does not start. In the preceding example, the server starts on the default port, 2638.
