How to Restart any Domino Server Task
Friday 14th September, 2007For many of us, we all know you can issue a "TELL HTTP RESTART" to quit and reload the Domino HTTP Task. However, issuing a "TELL ROUTER RESTART" will not work. For those people who have been around Domino to long and quit reading about all the new little features that are introduced, I just came across something that was introduced in Domino 6 and decided to share it since another long time Domino Admin of 10 years did not realize this new command was new available.
Starting in Domino 6, there is a new command that can be used to shut down and restart any task:
restart task [taskname]
For example, to restart the Router task:
> restart task router
mm/dd/yyyy 12:50:22 PM Router: Shutdown is in progress
mm/dd/yyyy 12:50:22 PM Mail Router shutdown
mm/dd/yyyy 12:50:22 PM Mail Router started for domain IBM
mm/dd/yyyy 12:50:22 PM Router: Internet SMTP host TEST in domain test.com
