Yes, of course. The syntax of this options you are may check in your
LINT file. For example via typing
grep SHMMAX /sys/i386/conf/LINT

Yes, it's defined in /sys/i386/include/param.h.

Please follow the next instruction.
1. Create file sybaseio.sh
-----------------------
#!/bin/sh
pid=`ps -ax|awk '/dataserver/&&!/awk/{print $1;exit;}'`
echo dataserver pid is $pid
while true; do
kill -IO $pid || break
done
----------------------
2. At the stage of the installing Sybase SQL, when sybinit say:
Running task: update the SQL Server runserver file.
Task succeeded: update the SQL Server runserver file.
Running task: boot the SQL Server.
waiting for server 'SYBASE' to boot...
launch the sybaseio.sh script, the sybinit must print:
Task succeeded: boot the SQL Server.
Running task: create the sybsystemprocs database.
3. When sybinit finished run isql -U sa,
enter password [empty], and after isql prompt:
sp_help
go
4. Shutdown dataserver: kill <dataserver pid>.
5. Create sybase.pl script
---------
#!/usr/bin/perl5
use POSIX;
setsid();
exec $ARGV[0]
---------
6. Open in the editor file ${SYBASE}/install/RUN_SYBASE and
add the 'exec' word at the begin line where dataserver started,
for example:
...
# interfaces: /opt/sybase
#
exec /opt/sybase/bin/dataserver \
...
7. Launch sybase.pl install/RUN_SYBASE and repeat step 3.

> init/logs/logxxxx.001.
> Would those be of assistance?
May be. In the file install/errorlog you may look line with text as:
kernel ninit: set process group 426, No such process
This is a symptom of the problem, which are hacked with sybaseio.sh script.
With best regards,
V.Silyaev.
