Sybase DC35823-01-1500-04 manual Stopping Backup Server, Enter

CHAPTER 2 Starting and Stopping Servers

2 Enter:

1> shutdown 2> go

The default for shutdown uses the with wait option, which allows Adaptive Server to finish executing SQL statements or procedures, perform a checkpoint in each database, disable new logins, and perform other shutdown tasks.

Issuing the shutdown command prints a message like this to the sterr file:

Server SHUTDOWN by request.The SQL Server is terminating this process.

CT-LIBRARY error:

This is normal behavior. If the message indicates that Adaptive Server is waiting for processes to complete, and you must stop Adaptive Server immediately, you can use shutdown with nowait which neither waist for currently executing statements to finish, nor performs checkpoints in every database.

Note Using the shutdown with nowait command is not recommended; use it only when necessary.

1Use isql to log in to a server with System Administrator privileges.

2Enter:

1> shutdown SYB_BACKUP 2> go

Issuing the shutdown command prints a message similar to the following to the stderr file:

Backup Server: 3.48.1.1: The Backup Server will go down immediately.
