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.
-
Activate the vqServer window.
-
Click the window's close box or select Shutdown for the File
pull-down menu.
-
Activate the command-line interpreter window in which the vqServer
console is running.
-
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.
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:
-
Open a command-line interpreter window or console window.
-
Change to your website/ directory.
-
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.
-
The shutdown utility requires that the administration server is running.
-
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).
-
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).
-
You can of course combine the -ap: and -ip: command-line options.
