Anyone knows if there is a chance to kill just a task (eg. nrouter) using nsd.exe?Do you know where I can find a complete description of NSD parameters and how to use them (for a strage reasn the command “nds -help ” does not work in my environment.
Thanks

You can’t just kill the router or any other task without potentially causing serious issues on your server. For example, if it happens to have the open database semaphore locked then no app will be able to open another database!
This is the main reason that NSD terminates the entire server even though only one app has crashed.
Subject: RE: Don’t do that
Thank you for your answer but the matter is that the problem we are facing causes the router to keep one or more threads “open” without any chance to quit them.These threads are related to mail messages that are no longer available on the mail.box and the recipients of these messages does not receive any message untill the restart of the router (that means the restart of the server). So if I could find a way to kill just the router then I could just restart it without causing problems to other users.

On Unix, if you kill the router process (ie kill -9 ) then the server process will automatically Panic. On Windows if you kill a process (using one of the many available kill utilities or the Windows Task Manager) then in R6 there will be no effect. In R7 and R8 there will be a warning message printed to the server console. It’s possible that the server will continue to run but it’s guaranteed to hang when you try to quit.

Thanks a lot, I thought that the NSD could do the job I hoped but it seems it cannot.I hope that the strange behavior we are facing will be fixed after a server upgrade.
Thanks again.
