Starting and stopping a database server

   

The simplest way to start the server is to log in to the database server machine as the user who owns the LINCKS databases. This is the user listed as OWNER in the .lincksrc. By database server machine, we mean HOST in the .lincksrc. See section 3.1.1 for full details about this file.

To start the database server, type:

lincks -s database-directory

To stop the database server, type:

lincks -k database-directory

To restart the netserv process, type:

lincks -r database-directory

The diagnostics from the program should be adequate to help you in the event of a failure.
