vqServer Shutdown


This page tells you how to shut down vqServer.

If vqServer is not shut down correctly, the vqServer configuration file may be corrupted, log data may be lost, session data will be lost and data maintained by servlets may be corrupted or lost. So avoid using Ctrl-C to stop vqServer!

The easiest way to shut down vqServer is from the vqServer window or from the vqServer console and these are the methods you'll use most often. vqServer can also be shut down from any command-line interpreter, a batch file or script or indeed any process running on your computer.

from the vqServer window:

  1. Activate the vqServer window.
  2. Click the window's close box or select Shutdown for the File pull-down menu.

from the console:

  1. Activate the command-line interpreter window in which the vqServer console is running.
  2. Type X and press the Enter key. A few status messages will be displayed. A command prompt will appear when the vqServer shutdown process is complete.

from the command line:

There are several circumstances in which you might want to do this:

  • The vqServer window isn't displayed correctly or vqServer can't read from the command line (this happens on some platforms!).
  • You want to shut down vqServer automatically when your computer is about to shut down or in response to some other event or trigger. You can include the command to shut down vqServer in a batch file or script which is executed at the appropriate time.

To shut down vqServer from the command line you need to invoke the shutdown utility provided with vqServer:

  1. Open a command-line interpreter window or console window.
  2. Change to your website/ directory.
  3. Type jre -cp classes/classes.zip vq.server.stop and press the enter key (the exact command depends on the JVM you are using).

A confirmation message will be displayed in the command-line interpreter window. After a short delay, vqServer will display a few status messages in its own window as it shuts down.

Notes and command-line options for the shutdown utility

  1. The shutdown utility requires that the administration server is running.
  2. The shutdown utility assumes that the administration server is listening on port 9090. If this is not the case you can still use the shutdown utility but you will have to specify the administration port number in the command line as follows: jre -cp classes/classes.zip vq.server.stop -ap:9191 (replace 9191 with the actual port number on which the administration server is running).
  3. The shutdown utility assumes that vqServer is reachable using the IP address 127.0.0.1. If this is not the case you can still use the shutdown utility but you will have to specify the IP address and the user ID and password of a user belonging to vqServer's server administration access control list in the command line as follows:
    jre -cp classes/classes.zip vq.server.stop -ip:123.123.123.123 -user:admin -pwd:admin
    (replace 123.123.123.123 with the actual IP address).
  4. You can of course combine the -ap: and -ip: command-line options.
