The methods described in this chapter are used to start Adaptive Server and Backup Server after a shutdown for database maintenance, because of an operating system crash, or for other reasons.

XP Server is not started by the installation process. XP Server is started only when any XP command is issued through isql.

You can use Sybase Central to start and stop servers manually or automatically. The ASE plug-in can also start Adaptive Servers monitored by Unified Agent if the agent is properly configured.
