Nirvana Installation

Stopping the Realm Server

Stopping the Nirvana Realm server depends on the installation operating system.

For win32 operating systems, the installer installs a shortcut called ‘Stop Nirvana Realm Server’. Furthermore, the server command prompt can be used to open a console window and the server can be stopped by typing nstopserver.
If however you have started the Realm from service control panel then stopping it should also be done from there.

For Linux/Solaris/Generic Unix operating systems, stopping the Realm can be done using the softlink inside the ‘Server’ directory:

[marvin@my-Channels.com]$ cd /home/my-Channels/Nirvana_3_0_0000/links/Server/Nirvana
[marvin@my-Channels.com]$ ./Stop_Nirvana_Realm_Server


At this point the server will try and close down all client links and channels, queues and P2P services. This may take some time to perform a graceful shutdown due to the Operating System resources that the Realm Server uses. The RealmServer will automatically perform a complete shutdown within 10 seconds if the graceful shutdown has not yet completed at which the Realm Server will perform an immediate shutdown. The Realm Server will log the shutdown within the server log and can be confirmed as complete by the following entries
