Using command-line switches

Running the UNIX database server as a daemon

To run the UNIX database server in the background, and enable it to run independently of the current session, you run it as a daemon.

Note Do not use ’&’ to run the database server in the background. It will not work. You must instead run the database server as a daemon.

❖To run the UNIX database server as a daemon:

•Use the -udcommand-line option when starting the database server. For example:

start_asiq -ud asiqdemo.db

Running the server as a Windows NT service

You can run the server as a service under Windows NT. This allows it to keep running even when you log off the machine. For details of this and other NT- specific features, see the Adaptive Server IQ Installation and Configuration Guide.
