Hi,
When entering a command in the server console, there was a typo “e adminp...” and the server executed the exit command.
Is there any possibility to change the server exit commands? Or execute these commands after prompting for confirmation? Or remove the abbreviations?
For which server versions can this be applied?
Thanks in advance
That's very funny :)
Hello Moises,
Domino read the first letter of the command like -
If you want to stop the server - you can enter only "q" to quit the server in same way if you can use only "e" to stop the server.
When you enter e adminp Domino server found the "e" charachter and considerd it shutdown request
See below I have issued only "e" command and server get shutdown

I realize that I made a mistake. The question is whether it is possible to disable short commands. I.e. the server will not respond to “e”, “q”, but only to “exit” or “quit”.
To my mind, this seems to be a valid concern.
Q, quit, e, exit are all the same, but there is an enter key at the end of it. So the console command is interpreted at the end of the enter indicating the command has been entered. Now q being interpreted as quit is fine and helpful. But 'e adminp' being interpreted as 'e' doesnt seem to be logical. The command interpreter either halts looking further once it finds a valid command in its vocublary (e in this case) or sees the full command first and finds it invalid and then looks for a valid fragment starting from begining and executes that. Definitely it does not interpret ' please do quit now' as quit. Since quit is not at the begining.
All said and done it is more logical to execute the complete command after the enter else throw an error. So 'e adminp' should result an error and the system should not execute the next best option just because 'e adminp' wasnt ok.
Hi team.
Totally agree with @Rajneesh Sharma
I would then @Moises Romero Barraneche suggest to submit an Enhancement request.
HCL would not recognize this as bug, despite of the great explanation of Rajneesh. You may try though submitting as a support ticket, complimenting it with all of these explanations, and see what they respond regarding being a possible bug.
But, most probably, an entry in AHA, and being shared here so we could vote, would be a good start for addressing this concern.

Hi all,
Thanks for your help. The link to the idea
https://domino-ideas.hcltechsw.com/ideas/DOMINO-I-2978
Voted!
Appreciate the Domino the AHA Idea... We can certainly try to make the Domino Console more type-o proof.... One thing you might consider using in the interim is securing the Domino Console using:
Set Secure password https://help.hcl-software.com/domino/14.0.0/admin/admn_setsecure_r.html?scLang=en
This way the Admin would have to have typed
e password
for the Domino Server to have been exited.
