New HP-UX and Linux startup configuration
Eloquence B.06.32 on the HP-UX and Linux platform comes with a
new and improved startup/shutdown script.
- New restart and status options to restart and return the status
of an Eloquence service
- Eloquence deamons can be started, stopped and restarted selectively
- Mulitple eloqdb6 instances can be managed
- Configuration on HP-UX and Linux are the same
Eloquence startup/shutdown script options
The Eloquence startup/shutdown script supports the following
options:
- start [arg list ...]
-
Start the configured Eloquence services. If the optional argument
list is not provided, all configured Eloquence services (or
database server instances) are started. If the argument list is present,
only the specified services (or instances) are started.
Please note: A database server instance is not be started automatically
if the ELOQDB6_START[0] configuration option is set to 0.
- stop [arg list ...]
-
Stop the configured Eloquence services. If the optional argument list
is not provided, all configured Eloquence services (or instances)
are stopped. If the argument list is present, only the specified
services (or instances) are stopped.
Please note that the Eloquence start/sto script only manages
configured services. Previous versions of the shutdown script
stopped unconfigured Eloquence services as well.
- restart [arg list ...]
-
Restart the configured Eloquence services. If the optional argument
list is not provided, all configured Eloquence services (or instances)
are restarted.
- status [arg list ...]
-
Display the status of Eloquence services. If the optional argument
list is not provided, all configured Eloquence services (or instances)
are returned.
- info [arg list ...]
-
Display the startup configuration of Eloquence services. If the
optional argument list is not provided, the configuration of all
Eloquence services (or instances) is returned.
An optional argument list may be used to specify which Eloquence
service(s) should be managed. An argument specifies either an
Eloquence service or a database instance which is configued in the
startup configuration file.
- eloqsd - specfies the Eloquence eloqsd service
- eloqdb5 - specfies the Eloquence eloqdb5 service
- eloqdb6 - specfies the all configured Eloquence eloqdb6 instances
For example:
/sbin/init.d/eloq6 start # start all configured services
/sbin/init.d/eloq6 restart eloqsd # restart eloqsd service
/sbin/init.d/eloq6 stop eloqdb6 # stop all configured eloqdb6 instances
/sbin/init.d/eloq6 start prod test # start eloqdb6 instances prod and test
# /sbin/init.d/eloq6 start
Starting eloqsd deamon [OK]
Starting eloqdb6[eloqdb] deamon [OK]
# /sbin/init.d/eloq6 status
eloqsd process is active (pid 16645) [running]
eloqdb5 process is not active [unused]
eloqdb6[eloqdb] process is active (pid 16652) [running]
# /sbin/init.d/eloq6 info eloqdb
eloqdb6 instance id = eloqdb
configuration file = /etc/opt/eloquence6/eloqdb6.cfg
service = eloqdb
args =
run prefix =
automatic start = 1
Location of the Eloquence startup/shutdown script
The location of the Eloquence startup/shutdown script depends on
the operating system:
- HP-UX
-
/sbin/init.d/eloq6
- SuSE Linux
-
/etc/init.d/eloq6 (SuSE Linux 7.1 and above)
/sbin/init.d/eloq6 (SuSE Linux before 7.1)
- Red Hat Linux
-
/etc/init.d/eloq6
or /etc/rc.d/init.d/eloq6
- LSB compliant Linux
-
/etc/init.d/eloq6
Location of the Eloquence startup/shutdown configuration file
The Eloquence startup/shutdown script uses a new configuration
template file. It is backwards compatible to previous Eloquence
versions. The location of the startup configuration file depends
on the operating system:
- HP-UX
-
/etc/rc.config.d/eloquence6
- SuSE Linux
-
/etc/sysconfig/eloquence6 (SuSE 8.0 Linux and above)
/etc/rc.config.d/eloquence6 (SuSE Linux 7.3 and before)
- Red Hat Linux
-
/etc/sysconfig/eloquence6
- LSB compliant Linux
-
/etc/sysconfig/eloquence6
During anupdate from a previous Eloquence installation a previous
configuration file is moved to the new location. However we recommend
to start with the configuration template file.
The example command shown below is specific to Linux, please change the target
location depending on the operating system.
cp /opt/eloquence6/newconfig/startup/eloquence.rc \
/etc/sysconfig/eloquence6
Eloquence startup/shutdown configuration options
The Eloquence startup/shutdown configuration file specifies
the operation of the startup/shutdown script.
The following global configuration options are available:
- START_ELOQ
-
If START_ELOQ is set to anything besides 1 it disables the
automatic Eloquence startup entirely. To retain compatibility
to previous Eloquence releases on Linux "yes" is accepted
as well.
The default is START_ELOQ=1
- START_ELOQSD
-
If START_ELOQSD is set to 1 the eloqsd daemon is started
automatically.
The default is START_ELOQSD=1
- ELOQSD_ARGS
-
The ELOQSD_ARGS allows specifying eloqsd command line arguments.
The default is ELOQSD_ARGS=""
- ELOQSD_RUNPFX
-
The ELOQSD_RUNPFX variable allows specifying a command which is
then expected to start eloqsd.
The default is ELOQSD_RUNPFX=""
For example:
ELOQSD_RUNPFX="/usr/bin/nice -n10" starts
eloqsd with a nice value of 10.
- START_ELOQDB6
-
If START_ELOQDB6 is set to 1 then the eloqdb6 daemon is started
automatically.
The default is START_ELOQDB6=1
- ELOQDB6_DEFAULT_ARGS
-
The ELOQDB6_DEFAULT_ARGS specifies the default command line
arguments which are used with all eloqdb6 instances unless
defined specifically.
The default is ELOQDB6_DEFAULT_ARGS=""
- START_ELOQDB5
-
If START_ELOQDB5 is set to 1 then the eloqdb5 daemon is started
automatically.
The default is START_ELOQDB5=0
- ELOQDB5_ARGS
-
The ELOQDB5_ARGS specifies the eloqdb5 command line arguments
The default is ELOQDB5_ARGS=""
The Eloquence startup/shutdown configuration file may be used to
configure multiple eloqdb6 instances.
Unless specified here, the Eloquence startup/shutdown script
only supports the default database server instance. This
section allows specifying database server instances which are
to be maintained by the eloquence startup script.
Each database server instance must be specified with a distinct
index, starting with the index 0.
The following options may be specified for each eloqdb6 instance:
- ELOQDB6_CFG[0]
-
This option specifies the configuratin file which is used with
this database server instance (required).
This file can be specified with an absolute path or relative to
the directory /etc/opt/eloquence6
The default is ELOQDB6_CFG[0]=eloqdb6.cfg
- ELOQDB6_ID[0]
-
This configuration option may be used to specify a symbolic
name to the database server instance (optional).
If not specified, this defaults to the service name or port number,
specified in the config file or "eloqdb".
The instance id may be used as an optional argument with the
Eloquence startup/shutdown script to specify a database server instance.
- ELOQDB6_START[0]
-
This configuration option may be used to specify if the Eloquence
startup script should start this service automatically.
If set to 1, the database server instance is started automatically.
If set to 0, the startup script will ignore this entry for the
start and restart option and the database server instance must be
managed manually by providing the instance id name on the script
command line.
The default is ELOQDB6_START[0]=1
- ELOQDB6_ARGS[0]
-
The ELOQDB6_ARGS[0] option may be used to specify eloqdb6 command line
arguments for this database instance. If not specified this defaults
to ELOQDB6_DEFAULT_ARGS.
- ELOQDB6_RUNPFX[0]
-
This configuration option may be used to specify a command which is
then expected to start eloqdb6.
The default is ELOQDB6_RUNPFX[0]=""
For example:
ELOQDB6_RUNPFX[0]="/usr/bin/setmemwindow" starts
the eloqdb6 process in a separate memory window.
For example:
START_ELOQSD=0
ELOQDB6_CFG[0]=eloqdb6_prod.cfg
ELOQDB6_START[0]=1
ELOQDB6_ID[0]=prod
ELOQDB6_CFG[1]=eloqdb6_test.cfg
ELOQDB6_START[0]=1
ELOQDB6_ID[0]=test
This example configuration file specifies to not start the eloqsd
service and defines two eloqdb6 instances, prod and test.
