Start and Stop Workgroup engine via commands

To start:
w3dbsmgr.exe -srde
To stop:
pvkillwg.exe

Both of these are in the PVSW\BIN directory.

I dont have a pvkillwg.exe in my bin folder.

Also how would I put this in a script?

Thanks

What's the exact version of PSQL you're using?  I'll check my V8 machine later but I believe it is installed with PSQL V8.5 and later.  

How you put it into a script is really up to you.  What knd of script are you talking about?  What are you trying to do with the script?

I am using Pervasive Workgroup Version 8.6. The file you mentioned above is not in my BIN directory.

I would like to create a scipt that will shutdown the workgroup engine at a specific time for backup purposes then restart the engine after the backup is finished.

Thanks

I am trying to backup data which uses PSQL. The data is used by an accounting application. This application has a company data directory which contains a heap of *.dat files and some *.ddf files.

When reading the pervasive help guides on continuous opteration it gives examples on how to backup using the butil -startbu command. The file that it gives in the example is a *.mkd file. I cannot seem to find any reference in the accounting data which contains a *.mkd file.

How would my application be using pervasive in this case? Should I have a *mkd file somwhere?

The MKD extension is the default.  Each application may be different.  I've seen *.DB, *.DAT, and even no extension.  If you've got *.DAT and *.DDF, those are the data files.
