Starting Databases From Init-Scripts

Starting with release 7.5 MaxDB provides tools that allow root to bring databases into online and offline state without having to provide any passwords:

>x_start

correct use of x_start is:

start fast kernel   :: x_start <serverdb>
start quick kernel  :: x_start -quick <serverdb>
start slow kernel   :: x_start -slow <serverdb>
ignore autorestart  :: -i or -admin
start with low prio :: -l or -lowprio
verbose mode        :: -v

>x_stop

correct use of x_stop is:

Usage :: x_stop [{-v|-force|-dump}] <serverdb> [{force|dump}]

x_stop is using implicit authentification and is equivalent
to 'dbmcli db_offline' or 'dbmcli db_stop' commands.

Options
Wants knldump creation      :: -dump
Stopping enforced (db_stop) :: -force
Verbose mode                :: -v

As alternative form it is allowed to use 'force' and 'dump' as arguments
stop forced without dump :: x_stop <serverdb> force
stop forced with dump    :: x_stop <serverdb> force dump
stop with dump           :: x_stop <serverdb> dump

To bring your database TESTDB into online state, all you have to do is:

>x_start TESTDB
OK
Database TESTDB started to status ONLINE

Feel free to add your init-scripts here as complete examples...
