Killing an iCDB Server

Kill an iCDB Server when you want to shut down an iCDB Server that has dead clients. Dead clients occur when the client did not disconnect from the iCDB Server as expected. You cannot shut down an iCDB Server that has dead clients; you must kill it.

If the iCDB Server has live clients connected to it, then you can simply disconnect them. See Disconnecting Clients.

Only users who have read/write access to the database folder can perform this procedure.

Procedure

  1. Select the iCDB Server you want to kill from the list of iCDB Servers.
  2. Click Tools > Kill server.
  3. Click Yes to shut down the iCDB server.

    The iCDB Server disappears from the list, and its process should no longer appear in the iCDB Server machine’s task manager or process list. If you have book-marked the iCDB Server as a favorite, it does not disappear from the list, but the text changes from bold to regular text, and the status indicator changes to gray indicating the iCDB Server is shut down.
