I Gurus,

I need a script for start or stop the engine informix when start or shutdown the computer. the operative system is linux.

Thank you for you help.

Well, I'm on AIX, but this should be applicable.

First, you'll need to write 2 scripts, start_informix and stop_informix

mine is pretty simple...

start_informix

<code>
#!/bin/ksh
#
# Script to start the Informix Database and ISA Server.
#
echo "\nStarting the Informix Database .. \c"

/usr/informix/bin/oninit

if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]
then
echo "OK"
else
echo "FAILED"
fi

echo "\nStarting the ISA HTTP Server .... \c"

/usr/informix/ISA/sbin/isactl start

if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]
then
echo "OK\n"
else
echo "FAILED\n"
fi
exit 0

</code>

stop_informix
<code>
#!/bin/ksh
#
# Script to shutdown the Informix Server.
#

echo "\nShutting down Informix Server..."

su - informix -c "/usr/informix/bin/onmode -ky"

if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]
then
echo "\nInformix Server shutdown - OK"
else
echo "\nInformix Server shutdown - FAILED"
fi
</code>

Both scripts assume that you have INFORMIXDIR set correctly. Put both scripts somewhere accessible by informix.

Then, modify /etc/inittab to have the line...

informix:2: once: su - informix -c "start_informix"

and modify /etc/rc.shutdown to have the line...

su - informix -c "stop_informix"

(/etc/rc.shutdown may be empty before you start, this is not (that) unusual).
