This section discusses starting and stopping NetWare Btrieve.
After installing Btrieve 6.1x (as discussed in Using the NetWare INSTALL Utility), you can start it by entering the following at the server console or at a workstation running RCONSOLE:
bstart
If you have created a Btrieve Server object (as described on Registering NetWare Btrieve with the Novell Directory Services), the BSTART.NCF command file for Btrieve 6.x automatically loads the NDS Support utility (BDIRECT.NLM). This utility checks to see whether a Btrieve Server object exists. If a Btrieve Server object does exist, the utility activates it.
NOTE: The Btrieve Server object is installed at the level of the current directory context, as defined by the server's start-up script.
After performing these tasks, the NDS Support utility unloads.
To stop Btrieve 6.1x, enter the following command at the server console or at a workstation running RCONSOLE:
bstop
The BSTOP command runs a NetWare command file (BSTOP.NCF) that unloads the following modules in the order shown:
NOTE: BSTOP.NCF does not unload BSPXSTUB, RSPXSTUB, or BDROUTER. To unload these modules, enter the UNLOAD command followed by the module name.
If you have created a Btrieve Server object, the BSTOP.NCF command file for Btrieve 6.x automatically loads the NDS Support utility (BDIRECT.NLM). If an active Btrieve Server object exists, it is deactivated and the NDS Support utility unloads.
NOTE: Before issuing the NetWare DOWN command on a server that has an active Btrieve Server object, you must first issue the BSTOP command.
