Siebel Gateway System Service on UNIX

---

This section describes how to start, stop, and check the Siebel Gateway System Service on UNIX.

To start the Siebel Gateway System Service on UNIX

Enter:

start_ns

To specify the Siebel root directory, use the -r switch by entering:

start_ns -r siebel_root

Typically, you do not need to use this switch, because the SIEBEL_ROOT environment variable is set by the siebenv.csh (or siebenv.sh) script. If this is not the case, then you must specify the Siebel root directory to indicate the Siebel installation under which the Siebel Gateway will run.

To start the Siebel Gateway only if currently marked with the autostart attribute, use the -a switch by entering:

start_ns -a

Typically, this flag should only be used when invoking the start_ns script from an autostart script. For more information on the autostart script, see Siebel Server Installation Guide for UNIX.

To force the start up, use the -f switch by entering:

start_ns -f

This can be used to make sure that the Name Server will start up even if it was not previously shut down completely. This switch is typically not needed.

To stop the Siebel Gateway System Service on UNIX

Enter:

stop_ns -r siebel_root -f

To specify the Siebel root directory, use the -r switch by entering:

stop_ns -r siebel_root

Typically, you do not need to use this switch, because the SIEBEL_ROOT environment variable is set by the siebenv.csh (or siebenv.sh) script. If this is not the case, then you must specify the Siebel root directory to indicate the Siebel installation under which the Siebel Gateway is running.

To force the shutdown, use the -f switch by entering:

stop_ns -f

This will cause the Name Server to shut down sooner, but it may not shut down completely. In general, the -f switch should only be used if the Name Server did not respond to the nonforced shutdown in a timely manner.

To check the status of the Siebel Gateway System Service on UNIX

Enter:

list_ns

To specify the Siebel root directory, use the -r switch by entering:

list_ns -r siebel_root

Typically, you do not need to use this switch, because the SIEBEL_ROOT environment variable is set by the siebenv.csh (or siebenv.sh) script. If this is not the case, then you must specify the Siebel root directory to indicate the Siebel installation under which the Siebel Gateway is configured.
