NAME

osserver − start an ObjectStore Server on a given host

SYNOPSIS

$OS_ROOTDIR/lib/osserver[ options ]

DESCRIPTION

The ObjectStore Server is a daemon process that mediates all access to Object Store databases, including the storage and retrieval of persistent data, and controls ObjectStore license management. A Server must be running before any ObjectStore application can access the data on the host. 

On AIX:

The Server is normally started by the script $OS_ROOTDIR/etc/rc.objectstore at system boot. 

The command line to start a Server on a particular host is normally: startsrc -s osserver

If you want to set up temporary special conditions when you start the Server, you can use the following command line, and specify one or more of the options listed below.   $OS_ROOTDIR/lib/osserver options

On SunOS:

The Server is configured by various command line options and parameter file options that are read at startup. The pathname of the Server executable is $OS_ ROOTDIR/lib/osserver. (See the installation instructions for information on setting OS_ROOTDIR.) 

The command line to start a Server on a particular host is: $OS_ROOTDIR/lib/osserver options The Server is normally started by the script in $OS_ROOTDIR/etc/start_servers. 

OPTIONS

Options are:

-c Forces a checkpoint. The Server is not started up following the checkpoint. 

-F Foreground. This reverses the normal behavior, where the Server is forked off as a background process. 

-p pathname On AIX, specifies a file containing parameter settings that override those in the ODM database.  On other platforms, names a parameter file to use during the startup process. 

-v Shows parameter values at startup. The Server parameter values are displayed after starting the Server. 

After starting up, the Server displays the message "Server started" on the system (host) console to let you know that it has started accepting requests from clients on the network. 

When run without -F, osserver returns 0 for successful startup of the background daemon, 1 otherwise.
