Using a RUN_server_name file

Each time a new Adaptive Server, Backup Server, or Monitor Server is created, the srvbuild program creates a RUN_server_name file that contains the information required to restart that server. RUN_server_name files are created in the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install directory. For Adaptive Server, the RUN_server_name file is named RUN_server_name, where servername is the name of the server.

For example, the RUN_server_name file name for an Adaptive Server named TEST is RUN_TEST.

For Backup Server and Monitor Server, the RUN_server_name files are named RUN_servername_back and RUN_servername_mon, respectively, where servername is the name of the server.

WARNING! Do not delete the RUN_server_name file that is created in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install. This file is used to restart servers when you customize your installation. If you need the RUN_server_name file in another location, make a copy of the original RUN_server_name file in the new location.
