There is only one "server" - the same piece of software that is scanning your files is responsible for serving webpages and everything else. Now it may be that it gets so tied up with scanning that it stops returning pages in a timely fashion, but it's not "off". By "turning on" the server what you're really doing (I would guess) is restarting it. And yes, restarting it while scanning will leave it in a mess, not surprisingly. In your situation it would seem that you can tell when the scan is finished because the web interface starts responding again. However, I don't consider that normal - you might want to investigate why a scan brings your box to it's knees. The web interface works fine during scanning on my server (and on most people's). > There really should be some sort of alert.
