Server hung - how to shut down?

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I am relatively new at this organization. They have Lotus Notes which I’ve never had experience with before. Today the clients could not connect to the database and the server console (cmd box that is running on the server itself) will not receive characters when I type them.

The last line on the console is about 12 hours ago and says “Admin Process: Searching Administration Requests database.”

I guess I should restart? Anything I should do to prevent problems? I tried closing the cmd window and the server refused. Restart the service? Or just restart the server itself.

BTW, I tried opening up another cmd line and running “nserver -c ‘restart server’” with the server name and the command executed (no erro) but nothing else happened.

Thanks.

Try running nsd -kill, that will usually force the console to shut down, then you can reboot your machine and start domino again. Open a command prompt and run nsd -kill from the notes directory…

Thank you for the reply, Michael. We ended up rebooting the server and everything came up fine. I will fine this away in case this happens again.
