IBM Informix OnLine Database Server Administrator’s Guide

Add

UNIX

 and OnLine utility commands to the

UNIX

 shutdown script that

perform the following steps:

Set the

INFORMIXDIR

 environment variable to the full pathname of

the directory in which OnLine is installed. (If multiple versions of
OnLine are running on your

UNIX

 system, you must reset

INFOR-

MIXDIR

 for each OnLine system that you shut down.)

Set the

PATH

 environment variable to include the

 directory.

Set the

TBCONFIG

environment variable to the desired configuration

file.

Execute tbmode -ky, which initiates immediate shutdown and takes
OnLine offline.

These commands should execute after all user and database server processes
have finished working.

Examples of these commands for the C shell and Bourne shell follow:

setenv INFORMIXDIR

setenv PATH $PATH:$INFORMIXDIR/bin

setenv TBCONFIG config_filename

tbmode -ky

INFORMIXDIR=

export INFORMIXDIR

PATH=$PATH:$INFORMIXDIR/bin

export PATH

TBCONFIG=config_filename

export TBCONFIG

tbmode -ky
