I have Domino installed as an NT service. My question is, is it possible to use the W2K scheduler (AT command) to run batch files to shut down Domino for the backup and to start it up after the backup is done? I am running the command nserver -c “exit” to shut Domino down. It works fine, however, when the second batch job runs to start Domino, I get an error message when the server tries to start… “Partition in use” and then the message disappears. I am using the nserver command with no switches. I suspect it is a syntax error, but, I am also not sure if what I am trying to do will work with Domino installed as an NT service. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
if it is a service under windows why not use the commands:
net stop “”
net start “”
(with this you can start and shut-down any service in windows).
An other option is to use the program-document in the DominoDirectory with the following parameter:
server -c “quit”
Hope this helps.

We have been using net stop “”,net start “” for a few years now and our backups run fine. We have even restored a few times and don’t run into any glitches.
