dbsvc utility for Linux

[#1]

We have the service started with the dbsvc utility using the -o and -oe options as described here.

For Windows, both options are described in the DCX documentation but they are not part of the Service utility for Linux.

Since the log files seem to be generated fine in the Linux server, are the -o and -oe options not supported for Linux for 12.0.1.3759?

Well, according to the docs on dbsvc for Windows, -o is also a dbsvc modifier option and gives the possibiliy to log the dbsvc execution itself, so its meaning depends on its position - cf. this sample:

dbsvc -o out1.txt -y -as -w mydsn "%SQLANY12%\\bin32\\dbsrv12" -n mysrv -o c:\\out2.txt

In this case, the output from dbsvc is logged to out1.txt, while the output from the database server is logged to c:out2.txt.

Don't know and can't test whether this is supported on Linux, too - it's not documented there.

Note: In your sample, you are just using -o and -oe as dbsrv12 options - that will work on both platforms.

Yes, we have been using the -o and -oe options for Windows as well. My only concern is that those options are not documented for Linux.

Well, as Graeme and I try to explain: The server options are documented for the according server command (dbsrv12 etc.) and do not apply to dbsvc itself - and therefore don't appear in dbsvc's documention.
