ONINIT - initialize and start-up functions
The ONINIT utility starts the Server and without any other options brings it into on-line mode so users can connect and go to work.
This is one of the key commands along with 'onmode -ky' to start and stop your database server.
See the earlier script that uses these commands to automatically start or stop the Server.
However, ONINIT is also one of the most dangerous commands. With a single option (-i) it will initialize you rootdbs, wiping out anything that was there and all your hard work. There may be times you will want to do this but be very careful and make sure all your environment variables are set correctly.
