Starting and stopping the Server Controller
You can start the Server Controller, the Domino® server, and the Domino Console.
Procedure
Results
The Server Controller runs in its own window. You can minimize a Server Controller window, but do not close or kill the window to stop the Server Controller. Instead, use the Controller Quit command from a console to stop a Server Controller and the server it controls.
When you run a Server Controller, you no longer have access to the traditional console at the server. You can communicate only through the Domino Console or a console in the Domino Administrator or Web Administrator.
Optional arguments to use when running the Server Controller
About this task
Starting the Server Controller using only the argument -jc starts
the Domino Server and the Domino Console along with the
Server Controller. There are two optional arguments you can specify
to change this default behavior: -c and -s.
Use -c to
prevent the Domino Console
from running when you start the Server Controller. You might prevent
the Console from running on a slow machine or a machine that is low
on memory. If you use this argument and the Domino server ID requires a password, the Domino server starts without
running its server tasks. To run the server tasks, you must connect
to the Server Controller from a console and specify the server password
when prompted.
Use -s to prevent the server
from running when you start the Server Controller. Use this argument
along with -c so that someone who is directly at
the server can start only the Server Controller, and then a remote
administrator can start the server and specify a required server password
remotely from a console.
