ingstart Examples
1. Start an additional default DBMS Server:
ingstart -iidbms
Note: In a Windows environment, if Vector was started as a service (with ingstart ‑service), then the additional DBMS Server will also be started as a service.
2. Starts the “speedy” Communications Server:
ingstart -iigcc=speedy
3. On Linux, this command starts the installation interactively using the configuration option, where $II_SYSTEM is set to /install/r6:
setenv II_SYSTEM /install/r6
ingstart
4. On Linux, this command starts the installation automatically by including ingstart in the /etc/rc or other boot script, where userid is the user ID defined during installation:
su userid -c /install/r6/ingres/utility/ingstart \
> /dev/console
