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.
