Stopping the Fileshare Server

Once started, a Fileshare Server runs as an active process until you explicitly stop it. You must stop the Fileshare Server when you no longer need it. To do this, press the Escape key. Fileshare displays:

FS097-I Are you sure that you wish to close down the Fileshare Server?

Enter Y to confirm that you want Fileshare to terminate. Any other entry causes the Fileshare Server to continue running.

If any data files are still open, the following warning is displayed:

FS111-I Warning - files are still open
        Continue to close down the Fileshare Server (Y/N) ?

Enter Y to confirm that you want Fileshare to terminate. Fileshare automatically closes all data files and rolls back any outstanding transactions. Any other entry causes the Fileshare Server to continue running. This warning indicates one of the following:

• Fileshare Clients are still active, with open data files
• A user program terminated abnormally without closing the data files it had open

If you are using the CCITCP protocol and the Fileshare Server terminates abnormally, you can restart the Fileshare Server using the same server-name. However, Fileshare displays the warning message:

FS153-I The Fileshare Server name has been reregistered on the network.
