Task
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 SAP ASE is named SYBASE, the RUN_server_name file specification is optional.
