| 1909.1 | There is no user interaction with start scripts | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Gregory P. Myrdal | Mon Mar 03 1997 11:25 | 13 |

There is no tty associated with the start action script of an
ASE service. These scripts may run at any moment and should
not require admin intervention to allow them to continue.
I am a little confused with your example. The script you
have asks for a password, but does not do anything with it.
Is part of the start script missing? Ie. the part which
hands the password off to the start of the sybase program(s)?
Does sybase require a password to start?

In normal concept, I think so. But is there any other shortcut or
unsupported way to achieve this?

It just a portion of the script. They required administrator password
in Sybase to start the database.
Thanks and regars,

I am not sure. Since the start script may run a system in which the admin
is not even logged into were do you send the output? It could go to the
console, but then you need to get the input from the user after logging in.
I am not the right person to answer this. I do not that we can not pop
the question back to the asemgr if the start was due to someone running
the asemgr. This would be nice, but not within the design of ASE.
It just a portion of the script. They required administrator password
in Sybase to start the database.
I wonder, can you embed the password in the sart script (encrypted if you
need security) and pump the password into the start of the sybase program?
Since you have the information, it would be nice if it started everytime,
whether an admin was there or not.
Unfortunately I do not have a good answer for you, someone else might.

| 1909.4 | Use "su - sybase command" | BACHUS::DEVOS | Manu Devos DEC/SI Brussels 856-7539 | Tue Mar 04 1997 16:38 | 16 |
| Hi,
As the start/stop script is used by root, you can always run your
sybase account by using the su command as
su - the_needed_sybase_account 'the requested_sybase_command'
As root has all the privileges, the password is NOT needed. I have no
experience with Sybase, but we use the same technique for Oracle.
By the way, I confirm that you cannot have an interactive terminal by
default with DECsafe, except if you redirect the standard input from
a terminal reserved for that and being not open by any getty !!!
Regards, Manu
