ingstart Command--Start a Vector Instance
Permission required: Installation owner, privileged user.
The ingstart command starts a Vector installation. It also checks that you have sufficient operating system resources to run Vector and have initialized the log file. It starts all the elements of your installation in the correct sequence.
Note:  If a server or process is specified, only that component is started.

ingstart -service
