Restarting Progress/OpenEdge in Sockets Mode

1. Log in to the machine that hosts your Progress database, as the progress user.
   
2. Execute the .profile associated with the Progress user.
   
   

   
   . ~/.profile
   

   
   
3. Navigate to the bin subdirectory of the Progress installation
   
   

   
   cd $DLC/bin
   

   
   
4. 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
   

   
   
5. Open the machine's /etc/services file in a text editor. (May require root user privileges.)
   
6. 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
   

   
   
7. Save your changes and exit the file.
   
8. 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
