Start Ingres using the Service Script on Linux
Ingres instances installed using the RPM command have a service script that can be used to start and stop the instance. The name of the script is of the format:
ingresXX
where XX is the instance ID of the instance. The script is typically located under /etc/init.d.
To start the Ingres instance using the service script
1. Log on to your system as root.
2. Enter the following command:
% /sbin/service ingresXX start
The service script checks whether you have sufficient operating system resources to run the Ingres components. It performs any necessary configuration that was not performed during the installation, and then starts the instance.
To stop the Ingres instance using the service script
1. Log on to your system as root.
2. Enter the following command:
% /sbin/service ingresXX stop
The instance is stopped.
