Starting and stopping the User Name Server on Linux and UNIX systems

  1. Run '. <install_dir>/bin/mqsiprofile' to source the mqsiprofile script and set up the environment for a single targeted runtime. You must do this before you can run any of the WebSphere Message Broker commands.
  2. To start a User Name Server enter the following command on the command line:
    mqsistart UserNameServer
    The User Name Server and its associated queue manager are started. Check the syslog to ensure that the User Name Server has initialized successfully.
  3. To stop a User Name Server enter the following command on the command line:
    mqsistop UserNameServer
    You can also request that the User Name Server's queue manager is stopped by this command. Refer to Stopping a WebSphere MQ queue manager when you stop a component.
