hot-backup {{command}{server=name}} {(options}
Parameter(s)
| command | Specifies the operation to perform on the specified server. Some of these operations are also available from the Hot Backup menus. | |
| debug | Forces the specified server to enter the BASIC debugger. Debug the server using tandem. This option is for testing only. | |
| dump | For slave servers only. Displays the location of the openfiles
and openlist structures. Note: If the structures are extensive, the
display time may be substantial. During this time, the server does
not respond to commands or transactions from the master server. |
|
| pstatus | Displays performance statistics for the specified server,
including the number of times a routine is called and the approximate
runtime for a routine. Note: Runtimes are rounded to the nearest second.
Thus, a routine that runs for less than a half-second displays a runtime
of 0. |

| start | Starts the specified server. | |
| stop | Stops the specified server. | |
| status | Display status information for the specified server. | |

| options | These options are available: | |
| f | Starts the server in the foreground. | |
| q | Suppresses all messages. Valid only for nonmenu operations. | |
| v | Turns traces on when starting the server from the menu. | |
