Hi I have tried to search through your knowledge base however I could not find anything that specifically addressed an issue I am observing. I am trying to set up a batch file that will launch the necessary components/services for my AvantGo 3.4 Server. I am processing this on an NT 4.0 Workstation, w 128MB RAM, SP 6a. When I run the following "start" process :: ********* START AvantGo Server and Related Services net START MySql net START "AvantGo Sync Server" net START "AvantGo Admin Server" I get: E:\Rich_F\Rich_Repository\Software\IBI\BatchProgs>net START MySql The MySql service is starting. The MySql service was started successfully. E:\Rich_F\Rich_Repository\Software\IBI\BatchProgs>net START "AvantGo Sync Server" The AvantGo Sync Server service is starting. The AvantGo Sync Server service was started successfully. E:\Rich_F\Rich_Repository\Software\IBI\BatchProgs>net START "AvantGo Admin Server" The AvantGo Admin Server service is starting.. The AvantGo Admin Server service was started successfully. However when I run the following "stop" process :: ********* STOP AvantGo Server and Related Services net STOP MySql net STOP "AvantGo Sync Server" net STOP "AvantGo Admin Server" (NOTE: I have also tried putting the stop MySql after the other 2 and same error) I get: E:\Rich_F\Rich_Repository\Software\IBI\BatchProgs>net STOP MySql The MySql service is stopping. A system error has occurred. System error 1067 has occurred. The process terminated unexpectedly. The MySql service was stopped successfully. E:\Rich_F\Rich_Repository\Software\IBI\BatchProgs>net STOP "AvantGo Sync Server" The AvantGo Sync Server service is stopping. The AvantGo Sync Server service was stopped successfully. E:\Rich_F\Rich_Repository\Software\IBI\BatchProgs>net STOP "AvantGo Admin Server" The AvantGo Admin Server service is stopping.. The AvantGo Admin Server service was stopped successfully. The "mysql.err" log files shows: (NOTE: the list of "Forcing close of thread nn user. 'sync' " goes up to thread 60 but I have just pasted the last several lines) 010514 19:11:00 MySql: Forcing close of thread 4 user: 'sync' 010514 19:11:00 MySql: Forcing close of thread 3 user: 'sync' 010514 19:11:00 MySql: Forcing close of thread 2 user: 'sync' 010514 19:11:00 MySql: Forcing close of thread 1 user: 'sync' 010514 19:11:00 MySql: Shutdown Complete MySql: ready for connections 010514 19:16:53 MySql: Normal shutdown 010514 19:16:53 MySql: Shutdown Complete Rich __________________________________________________ Richard D.
