If you generated administrative shell scripts for your servers, these scripts are located in the database directory. (On a Windows host, these scripts are .bat files. On UNIX, they are shell scripts.) Open each script with a text editor to see comments about how to use it.
Scripts that require a password define it as an input parameter.
These scripts may be used to automate operations that you would normally perform periodically with Sybase Central. The scripts can:
Start and stop servers
Start dbremote
Start dbisql
Synchronize query servers
For example, you could use the scripts to synchronize each query server during the night.
You can use the crontab system utility to schedule the administrative tasks.
You will need a task scheduler application that can start up specified processes with specified permissions at certain times of the day. Install this application on each machine in the multiplex.
Synchronizing query servers requires actions on two machines of the multiplex. Read the documentation within each script to make certain that you run them in the proper order.
