    Start up SQL Anywhere Services from command prompt on NT

    There are cases when customer would like to start up a SQL Anywhere Services at a specific time or after a database backup. The following is a way to start up a SQL Anywhere Services from outside Sybase Central or NT Services (as in Control Panel, Servi
    1. Open the 32-bit registry editor (C:\WINNT\system32\regedt32.exe).

    On the taskbar, click on “Start” then select “Run”. Type in regedt32 or regedit.

    1. Double click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Services

    1. For ASA versions 6.x.x/7.x.x/8.x.x, scroll down until you see ASANY. For SQL Anywhere version 5.x.x, scroll down until you see SQLANY. Any services created in SQL Anywhere Service Manager (or from Sybase Central) should be listed here.

    1. The name of each individual service would appear as

    ASANYx_y or SQLANYx_y

    where ‘x’ represents the Service Type:


    a – Sample Application

    c – Client
    e – Standalone Engine
    l – Agent for Replication Server

    o – Open Server Gateway
    r – SQL Remote Message Agent

    s – Network Server

    and ‘y’ represents the Service Name as seen in the ‘Name’ column in Sybase SQL Anywhere Service Manager.

    Find out which key is for the service you want to start from the DOS prompt. Write down the name of the key. Note that the key is

    Case sensitive for version 5.x.x but is not case sensitive for version 6.x.x/7.x.x/8.x.x.

    1. In DOS, the command to start up any registered NT Services (which include SQL Anywhere/Adaptive Server Anywhere Services) is ‘net start’.

    Therefore, the syntax to start up a SQL Anywhere Service from a command prompt (DOS prompt) would be:

    net start <key for the service from registry editor>
     

    1. Similarly, the NT command to stop any registered NT Services is ‘net stop’  


    Therefore, the syntax to stop a SQL Anywhere/Adaptive Server Anywhere Service from a command prompt (DOS prompt) would be:


    net stop <key for the service from registry editor>

  • MAC OUTLOOK SHORTCUTS

    So you want to quickly send that email and you too lazy to click on the send button in Outlook for Mac 2011.

    Like me who doesn’t want to remove my hands from the keyboard and just wants to click send via a keyboard shortcut. Coming from Windows where Alt + S does that made me wonder – what’s the Mac equivalent so to quickly send that mail press Command and Enter (COMMAND + RETURN) .

    For a full list of shortcuts please review the reference below – my favourite list is:

    Create a new message COMMAND + N
    Send the open message COMMAND + RETURN
    Save an item COMMAND + S
    Print an item COMMAND + P
    Undo the last action COMMAND + Z
    Redo the last action COMMAND + Y
    Hide Outlook COMMAND + H
    Quit Outlook COMMAND + Q
