DB-STATUS


Run this command as any user which also shows the status of the DB-PAUSE command

 

Note: This utility is only available in jBASE 4.1 and later.

 

For example

# DB-STATUS

Database paused at Mon Nov 25 16:00:50 2002

For READ and WRITE operations

Updates are denied also to root users

Transactions will be blocked immediately

 

The -a option specifies that all databases should be shut down (Note: This option is restricted to jBASE 5)

The -n option specifies the database to shut down  (Note: This option is restricted to jBASE 5)

Use the -t option to display users currently inside a transaction.

The -v option is the verbose option.

Use the -w option to display all users currently suspended and waiting for a DB-RESUME.

The -V option is the very verbose option and is the equivalent of -t, -v and -w together.

 

EXAMPLE

# DB-STATUS -V

DatajBASE paused at Mon Nov 25 16:13:36 2002

For READ and WRITE operations

Updates are denied also to root users

Existing transactions can continue until complete

Port 4 is waiting for DB-RESUME

Port 23 is waiting for DB-RESUME

Port 31 is inside a transaction

1 ports inside a transaction, 2 ports waiting for DB-RESUME

 

One common usage of these commands will be to split mirrors on a mirrored disk system. One of the mirrors can then continue a jBASE operation following a DB-RESUME and the other mirror, which is now quiescent, used for a fast backup using operating system specific backup tools.
