# Log in to the machine that hosts your Progress database, as the {{{progress}}} user.
# Execute the {{{.profile}}} associated with the Progress user.
{{{
. ~/.profile
}}}
# Navigate to the {{{bin}}} subdirectory of the Progress installation
{{{
cd $DLC/bin

# Use the {{{proshut}}} command to shut down the Progress database that you want to restart. The syntax is:
{{{
proshut <db-name>
}}}
For example:
{{{
proshut sports2000
}}}
# Open the machine's {{{/etc/services}}} file in a text editor. //(May require root user privileges.)//
# Add an entry in the {{{/etc/services}}} file that pairs your Progress server with any unused port number. For example:
{{{
prosports    5678/tcp    # Progress sports2000 service
}}}
# Save your changes and exit the file.
# Use the proserve command to restart your database using this syntax:
{{{
proserve <db-name> -H <hostname> -S <service-name> -N tcp
}}}
e.g.,
{{{
proserve sports2000 -H proghost.example.com -S prosports -N tcp
}}}
