usage: startup [ -e <property=value> ] [ -f ] [ -q ] <server process>...

This command is used to start pico instances.

Note!

This command is valid only for the MZ_HOME owner.
The Platform must be started before any other pico instance. If there is a problem during startup an error message will be shown and more information will be visible in the Platform log.

This command will not terminate until a pico instance has reported back that it is up and running. If you have specified more than one pico instance in the arguments, it will not continue with the next one until the previous instance has reported that it is up and running.

Options

The command accepts the following option:

Option	Description
[-e <property=value>]	Use this option to set or override a system property. This is useful for test purposes but not recommended for production environments. Example. Setting properties in the mzsh startup command. $ mzsh startup platform ec1 -e pico.log.level="FINEST"
[-f]	Use this option to force start of an existing pico instance that is unreachable. Note! When you want to start a pico instance that is already started but unreachable, you must first delete it or use the `-f` option. For further information, see /wiki/spaces/MD82/pages/3770875 in the /wiki/spaces/MD82/pages/3768690.
[-q]	Use this option to generates less or no messages in the output.
