Linux or Unix Shell commands to get Active Quant AQ2o going for potential Java High Frequency Trading environment

These are commands sent from Ulrich (founder of Active Quant) of Active Quant to get the current AQ2o server going. Let’s hope this works. If so, I will include a Youtube video within my Linux environment.  Thanks go out to him.

Update: I am not a Linux admin expert, but it can be frustrating and wonky to work with. As in the past, I need to stick with Windows based systems for productivity reasons. Linux painfully slows me down but these commands seem to work but the environmental handling of Linux is a nitemare so good luck to anyone implementing these commands. My opinion of Linux has no reflection on Active Quant itself.
