Using the Sybase ASE Toolkit in a Serviceguard Cluster on HP-UX README: Release B.06.00

If "wait" is specified, the instance is
shutdown
using the wait option, which will be a
clean
shutdown. If "nowait" is specified, the instance
is
shutdown using the nowait option. The default
value
is "wait".
MONITOR_INTERVAL: The interval of time, in seconds, which this
script
should wait between checks to ensure of
the
Sybase database running. Default value is
30
seconds.
TIME_OUT: The interval of time, in seconds, to wait for
Sybase
abort to complete before killing the
Sybase
processes defined in MONITOR_PROCESSES. The
TIME_OUT
variable is used to protect against a worst
case
scenario where a hung database prevents the
halt
script from completing, therefore preventing
the
standby node from starting the database. The
value
of TIME_OUT must be less than the time-out set
in
the package configuration file. TIME_OUT
variable
has no effect on package failover times.
Default
value is 30 seconds.
RECOVERY_TIMEOUT: The maximum amount of time in seconds to wait for
an
ASE to complete recovery before determining
that
the server has failed to start up. This value
must
be set to allow enough time for all the databases
to
recover and come online.
