Ingres uses new commands for startup and shutdown: ingstart and ingstop instead of iistartup and iishutdown. If you have customized shell scripts that start and stop Ingres, you must change them. Verify the changes in the development Ingres installation and have the revised scripts ready for the production environment at time of upgrade.

If you are running multiple DBMS servers with Ingres 6.4, you should be able to simplify your startup and shutdown procedures. Ingres supports multiple DBMS servers directly from the Ingres configuration.
