Starting the server on UNIX platforms

Start the server from the command line.

StepsStarting the server

  1. Change to the EAServer bin directory, and run serverstart.sh. For example:

    cd /opt/Sybase/EAServer/bin
    serverstart.sh
    

    The server starts and runs as a foreground process in the current console window. To start the server in a separate window, specify the -xterm option. For example:

    cd /opt/Sybase/EAServer/bin
    serverstart.sh -xterm
    

    The server starts in a new xterm terminal window. X Windows must be installed and configured to use this option. In other words, the xterm command must successfully launch a terminal window in the shell where you start the server.
