HTTP dies when exit console

More strangeness.

We setup a new 6.03 test server. It works dandy.

However, if we start it with:

cd /opt/lotus/data; server

The server starts, etc.

If we “close” the SSH/telnet session to the server, the HTTP task becomes unresponsive.

I realize we can use a startup script, but why does this happen? We are having “other” similar issues with HTTP and perhaps its related.

Yes, you’ll probably find the whole server has stopped. The session that started all those tasks has closed - this is UNIX thing, not a Domino thing. When you load the server, make sure to pass it off to the OS as a background task (can’t quite remember how to do this, but your Solaris admin should).

Thanks…

yeah, it’s server&

the ‘&’ starts it as a backround task

however, other server products don’t seem to ‘die’ when the console is closed… they keep running, just with no output to a console window.

anyway, thanks.

my biggest problem no is figuring out why the server dies when its cluster sister shuts down… i thought this might be related, but apparently its not.

thanks!
