Backup Server Agent: SybaseBk

The Backup server agent starts a Sybase Backup Server, monitors the server process, and shuts down the server. Specific agent operations include:

• Online--- Starts the Sybase Backup Server by using the following sql command:

startserver -f $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/RUN_$BackupServer

• Monitor--- Scans process table for the backupserver process.
• Offline--- Stops the Sybase Backup Server by using the following isql command:

The agent first executes the command shutdown SYB_BACKUP with wait. If this fails, the offline script executes shutdown SYB_BACKUP with nowait.

• Clean--- Forcefully stops the Sybase Backup Server by using the isql command in the following manner:

The agent first executes the command shutdown SYB_BACKUP with wait. If this fails, the clean script executes shutdown SYB_BACKUP with nowait.

If the process does not respond to the shutdown command, the agent scans the process table for processes associated with the configured Sybase Backup Server and kills them.
