We have the same issue. This is how we have to manually stop the AREmail engine on Solaris.
► Open a Telnet Session to the server ► At the prompt enter the following command: ps -ef|grep AREmail ► Results look like this: ► Find the Process ID, for example above it would be 13089 ► At the prompt enter the following command along with the Process ID: kill 13089 and press Enter. This works for us. Not sure why we have to do this. However, we did find that stopping in AR System Administration: System>Email>Mailbox Configuration, does not always stop it.

The arsystem stop script + command runs and kills everything - except, of course, the email daemon. The "stop" section of the arsystem script appears to try to kill everything based off of the parent process ID. I'm not a script guru by any means but I can tell that the "stop" process is not calling emaild.sh stop. This is almost identical to 4 other servers we have running in the same configuration where I do not have this problem and I can't find any difference between them.

We are running Solaris 5.10 w ARS 7.1.0 patch 7 and I do not have that problem when doing an arsystem stop If the parent of the email engine java process is 1 then the server believes that the email engine is running as a detached (orphan) process. Check your armonitor.conf ( /etc/arsystem/{server}/armonitor.conf ) file to see how it is starting the engine.

We also have IM 7.03, etc, installed which is irrelevant in this case. When I stop the server the email daemon won't stop. I always have to manually kill it and I'm unsure why - didn't find anything in the list archives either. The emaild.sh script appears to run and kill arserverd, the armonitor, and then any process with the same parent process id. However, when I do a ps -ef | grep <uid> I always see the parent process id for the email process as a slightly different number (+1) from the other parent process id. Is this a configuration issue? I have the same problem across three servers. It's not a show stopper by any means but it's a little annoying. William Rentfrow Principal Consultant, StrataCom Inc.
