Killing the Sesame server process

Hey folks,

I run Sesame server on a Windows cloud server. It works fine for the most part but I do get random communication errors throughout the day that require I kill the process, restart it and do an unlock on the db.

Is there a script I could run from a batch file that would shut down a Sesame server "nicely" without just killing the process?

Is there any real difference internally between doing an Emergency Shutdown and merely killing the sesame.exe process using Task Manager or the taskkill DOS command?

Thanks.
Jack

Assuming a recent version of Sesame

Code
Select All
sesame.exe -command ServerName AdminPassword Shutdown  



Where:
ServerName is the name or IP address of your Server
AdminPassword is your Server Admin password(by default this is: hello)

Yes there is a difference between TaskKill and Emergency Shutdown.

Hi Ray,

We have Sesame Server on a separate server which is connected to 7 work stations.  I can connect to 5 of the work stations remotely, but not the server itself.  If the Sesame Server shuts down, is there a way I can restart it remotely?

You need access to the computer, either through command line like SSH or a GUI or something, in order to run Sesame Server on it.
