I am using Progress DB. From Unix we do vstart to connect to Progress DB. I want to know code behind this. How can I do that?

I dont know if that is a unix command or something user created?

which vstart will look for vstart in your active PATH.

If that doesn't work you will get a message:

/usr/bin/which: no vstart in (... your path here...)

If that is the case you can use find instead:

find / -name "vstart"

This will look for vstart in the root-directory and all directories above the root.

Otherwise you will see something like 

/usr/local/script/vstart

Matching files will be displayed like matching files for which so follow the directions below.

Change directory to the listed directory: cd /usr/local/script/ and cat or more the file:

Cat command:

cat vstart

More command:

more vstart

First, try 

which vstart

So you know where the program is. then 

cd

to the directory it shows, and now we come to the real problem: I never heard of vstart, so I'm guessing it's a script from your company. If so, just 

cat vstart

to see the shell code behind it. Now, if it's not a shell, I'd guess you'd be out of luck. Progress is not open source, except for some parts of it that are distributed for customization.
