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
- Select the iCDB Server you
want to kill from the list of iCDB Servers.
- Click Tools > Kill server.
- 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.
