Checking if the database is running

   

Upon occasion it is useful to know the status of the database. The program dbstat is written for this purpose. Notice that dbstat tell us if the database server (netserv) is running with clear text or encrypted passwords, and also if the size of the object identifiers is 32 bits (case below) or 64 bits (possible on an Alpha machine). It produces the following output:

obel11> dbstat ~/tmp/test
Configuration of database /home/obelix2/ida/davpa/tmp/test is
     Internet port number: 6099
     Host for servers: obel11
     Database owner: davpa
     Server program directory: 
             /home/obelix2/ida/davpa/work/src/bin
     Logging directory: 
             /home/obelix2/ida/davpa/tmp/test/log
     The monitor is running.
     The net server responds.
     @(#)netserv.c   1.12 5/3/94, using encrypted passwd, 32 bit label.
     The database is available for workspace connection.
