Stop a DirectConnect server using DirectConnect Manager, the command line, or other
platform-specific procedures.
Note: To stop a server that is directed by a DCDirector server, Sybase recommends that you use
DirectConnect Manager.
Option
Description
DirectConnect Manager
Go to the DirectConnect Manager online help to stop a DirectConnect
server. Select Server Administration > Stopping a Server.
Warning! You can stop a server using
DirectConnect Manager only if it is directed by a DCDirector server.
To stop a non-directed server, use the command line.
Command line
As an alternative
to using DirectConnect Manager to stop the server, you can use the
stopsrvr utility that shuts down the server
and terminates all client connections. A password is not required;
however, this works only if the sa user password has not been
modified.
Note:
If you invoke stopsrvr when a client is
performing work such as batch processing, the server is not
stopped, but both the client and the server suspend
operations.
The stopsrvr format is:
stopsrvr [-v|-h] -Sserver_name [-ddelay]
where:
-v displays the program version
only.
-h displays the
stopsrvr format.
-S shows the name of the server to be
shut down.
-d is the delay, in seconds, before
client connections are terminated. The default is 3.
Windows systems
Use one of these methods:
To stop the server
using the command line, press
Ctrl+C.
To stop the server that
is started as a Windows service:
Select Control Panel > Services.
Select the DirectConnect
server_name.
Select Stop.
UNIX systems
Make the DirectConnect console window the active window.
