Hi Folks

Could someone advise me how to setup ASE 12 to auto start upon a SUN
Solaris (UNIX BOX) server reboot.

We don't reboot the UNIX box often, but when it is done I want the
sybase ASE server to start up automatically instead some running the
startserver cmds.


Many thanks, and Happy Easter.

Massor,

On an IBM Unix computer (AIX), in /local/etc/rc.local:


but the actual location of the lines, above, will vary on your computer
according to the way your Unix administrator has set it up. Just be
sure that your computer's networking starts before Sybase is started.

This is what the documentation says:

1 Create a start-up script file with contents like the following:

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/startserver -f \
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/RUN_servername

where $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/startserver is the full path name of
the startserver utility, and $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/RUN_servername
is the full path name of the RUN_server_name file for the server.

2 Copy the script to the /etc/init.d directory, using syntax like the
following: cp script_name /etc/init.d/script_name

3 Review the contents of the /etc/inittab file to determine the default
run level for your operating system. The initdefault entry specifies the
default run level, which is usually 2 or 3 for Sun Solaris and 5 for Linux

4 Use the ln command to create a hard link from the RUN_server_name file
to the appropriate run control (rc) directory, rc#, where # is the
default run level obtained in step 2. Use syntax like the following for
Sun Solaris:

ln /etc/init.d/script_name /etc/rc#.d/S##script_name

----

Most likely is runlevel 3 the default runlevel on your solaris system.

Good luck,
