I’ve got a program that shuts down my server at 5:30AM on Fridays and a Windows 2000 schedule to reboot the servers at 6AM. This morning my server crashed at 5:20AM and it was automatically rebooted at 6AM. BUT when my notes server restarted at 6AM it ran the program to shut down my server. So when I came into the office this morning my server was down. Is there any way to make sure the program to do shutdown doesn’t automatically run in this instance.Thanks in advance.

Hmmm, depends on your definition of “in this instance”, I think. Since you shutdown at 5:30 and start at 6, I’d have the program check to see if it’s after 6 and if it is don’t shutdown.
You could also use the fault_recovery.hst file which keeps track of crashes if you’re willing to parse the data.

Why do you program the Domino server to shutdown when you’re already rebooting the Windows server? Doesn’t that already notify the Domino server to shutdown?

If I just re-boot the Windows 200 server - The Domino Server will abort abnormally. And when I bring the Notes Server back up - it will have to go thru consistency checks on all the databases that were open then it was terminated adnormally
