HI,

Are there any people to send the command to start the Adabas on boot machine, because I didn’t find the information in the MANUAL?

I use the release 13.01

Thanks,  
Moshe

Hi Moshe,

We do the following:

function startAdaD  
{  
retval=0

```
    if [! -f "$adadtab"]
    then
            print "Error - cannot find file $adadtab"
            retval=1
            return $retval
    fi

    if [! "$DBROOT"]
    then
            print "Adabas D DBROOT environment not set up"
            retval=1
            return $retval
    fi

    print "Starting Adabas D"

    while read db user password id rest
    do
            su $id -c "x_clear $db" >/dev/null 2>&1
            su $id -c "x_start $db" >/dev/null 2>&1
            su $id -c "xutil -u $user,$password -d $db restart" >/dev/null 2

```

> &1  
> done \<$adadtab

```
    $DBROOT/pgm/vserver start >/dev/null 2>&1

    return $retval

```

}

Not too straightforward but does the job.

Regards,

Nick Parmley
