Sybase Startup Script

[James Quade]

Hello All,
I am trying to run Sybase on machine start up: a D370,HPUX 11.0, Sybase 11.9.2.I am linked from S99sybase in /sbin/rc3.d to /sbin/init.d/sybase (see att). My rc.log shows 'Sybase Servers have been started' as the last entry, however I see no sybase procces running. I've checked /var/SybaseLogs/error.log and all that is shown is Sybase shutting down.Any ideas?

I noticed you don't have the - in the su. I've had troubles in the past starting databases with out it. The - will tell the system to use that users .profile Most Databases have a lot of environment variables set, and will not work with out your profiles.

su - oracle -c dbstart 2>&1

Hope this helps.

Brian,
Thanks, I tried that, I started getting tty not a typewriter in my rc.log and no startup. It did appear that it got a little farther along though. Still working on it.

Hello all,
Well I tried adding nohup

nohup su sybase -c
The processes seem to all start up, will have my dba check it out.
Thanks again
