Starting Actian Ingres
Start Actian Ingres on Linux
You can use the ingstart command to start Actian Ingres.
Note:  If your operating system has shadow passwords, you must install the password validation program (see Allow Access on Systems Using Shadow Passwords on page 88) before starting a networked DBMS Server instance.
To start the Actian Ingres instance
1. Log on to your system through the system administrator account for the instance.
2. Enter the following command:
% ingstart
The ingstart command checks whether you have sufficient operating system resources to run the Actian Ingres components. If these conditions are met, ingstart starts all servers that are part of your instance.
To stop the Actian Ingres instance
Enter the following command:
% ingstop
The instance is stopped.
