Hi all,I want to create a task to restart server, using ‘res ser’ command line.

By default its restart after 10 sec. it’s posible to increase this time?

And, if so, it’s posible to restart W2k server during the domino server is down?

Thanks.

Hi,

to perform the task of restarting both w2k and domino i would do the following:

  1. make sure domino is started as a w2k service automatically after system startup

  2. creade a cmd-file which

2a. shuts down the domino service (use the “net stop” command)

2.b shuts down and restarts windows (use the “shutdown” command)

Ciao

Use restart server -d30 to increase the restart delay to 30, for example.

However, if you want to restart the OS after the Domino server went down, do not use the restart feature, as there is still code running to actually restart the server. Instead, run the server as a service, stop the service, shut down the OS and upon restart, the service can start up again automatically.

I cannot do it as is because I have a password in server.id, and I cannot remove it because the server.id was created years ago with r4.x and now we have r6.5.From Ibm/Lotus technicals it’s not posible to delete the password because the server.id it’s an existing id.

Any idea to restart server?

For password protected servers, use this format:

restart server “password” -d30

Yes, But I cannot restart windows server as a scheduler task, because it prompts me the password.

Any suggestion?
