On Unix/Linux machines hosting some Sybase dataservers running multiple engines, it is always difficult to find out quickly what dataservers engines belong to. When you have dataservers running multiple engines, “showserver” or “ps” command line always show something like this:
sybase 9510 8892 246 Jul 11 ? 1858:08 ./ase/1503/ASE-15_0/bin/dataserver -ONLINE:1,0,0xffffff
Of course, with some Unix commands line you can find what dataservers engines are associated to, looking for PID, or connect to each dataservers and look into system table “sysengines” for PID. But I was always frustrated about that… When I connect to a machine, I want something that show up easily… There is a workaround for this: you just have to bind your dataservers names with your dataservers processes, using Unix links !
