1.8 ClearCase Startup and Shutdown

ClearCase is normally started and stopped when the ClearCase LT server starts up or shuts down, using the startup and shutdown conventions for the platform type. Starting and stopping ClearCase starts and stops ClearCase server processes. No ClearCase server processes run on a ClearCase LT client.

On UNIX

When UNIX is bootstrapped, the ClearCase startup script is executed by init(1M). The startup script does the following:

• Starts the host's albd_server process.

• Starts a lockmgr process.

You can also run the atria_start script manually, as root. For example:

# ccase-home-dir/etc/atria_start stop

Stops ClearCase.

# ccase-home-dir/etc/atria_start start

Starts (or restarts) ClearCase.

See the init_ccase reference page for pointers to system-specific variants of these commands.

On Windows

Unless explicitly configured to be started manually, the lockmgr and albd_server services are started when a ClearCase LT server starts. You can also start and stop ClearCase services manually from the ClearCase program in Control Panel.
