Starting or stopping FortiDB

In some situations, it is necessary to start and or stop FortiDB manually. For example, when you update or replace your FortiDB license file, or reboot UNIX.

When FortiDB stops, it saves state information in the internal database. When log in again, it retrieves this information and reopens the databases that were open at the time of the shutdown. Since state information is periodically saved during your session, FortiDB can restore most of the state, even if it goes down due to a power failure or similar problem.

To manually start on Windows

Do one of the following:

  • Execute the < FortiDB install directory>\bin\start.bat batch file.
  • Click Start > Programs > FortiDB > Start FortiDB.
To manually start FortiDB on UNIX

Use the < FortiDB install directory>/bin/start script.

To manually stop on Windows

Do one of the following:

  • Execute the < FortiDB install directory>\bin\stop.bat batch file.
  • Click Start > Programs > FortiDB > Stop FortiDB.
To manually stop on UNIX

Use the < FortiDB install directory>/bin/stop script.
