Startup Script for Sybase ver 12.0 on unix ver 11.0

[marvin51796]

I am trying to write a startup script for Sybase ver 12.0. I have a file that has the path, variables, and then the executable. It is linked to /sbin/rc2.d/S900sybase. But when i reboot it goes thru the reboot to the start/stop list and then all i get is dots going across the screen and about every 10 minutes a process will start..
I would appreciate any help or ideas..please..

Try this:

substitute FOO for correct database name.

#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for Sybase SQL server
#

#
# Path to Sybase and install.
#
SYBASE=/usr/sybase

ISQL=$SYBASE/bin/isql

INSTALL=$SYBASE/install

export SYBASE ISQL INSTALL

case "$1" in
'start')
#
# Sybase server startup.
#
su sybase -c "$INSTALL/startserver -f $INSTALL/RUN_FOO -f $INSTALL/RUN_FOO_BACKUP &"
;;

'stop')
#
# Sybase server shutdown.
#
$ISQL -S FOO -U sa -P password > /dev/console 2>&1 <<-'END'
shutdown SYB_BACKUP
go
shutdown
go
END
;;

*)
#
# Invalid param.
#
echo &quot;Usage: /sbin/init.d/sybase { start | stop }&quot;
;;
esac

I have setup the script to run, but when i do /sbin/init.d/sybase start, only backupserver starts, and when i do /sbin/init.d/sybase stop, it tries to shutdown the unix box...if you have any more ideas please let me know..
