Howdy all.
I've been rebooting my NT Server every week early Friday morning,
like 5 AM. This hasn't given me a problem. This week I set up a
scheduled task to do just that and it appeared to go without a hitch.
However, I wasn't able to log in to the POP3 server afterward. IMail
and the Services Control Panel both said the POP3 service had started
up fine. However, I had to stop, then restart the service to log in.
My question. I'd like to create a batch file to stop all the IMail
services, the Web Server, and the Cold Fusion services just to make
the shutdown a little less obtrusive. Looking at the scheduler, it
looks like you can't set it by seconds, only minutes. Is it going to
create a problem if I schedule all the services to stop at once, say
at 4:59 AM. I'd rather not stop them over a 10 minute period if I can
help it, scheduling them to stop at 4:50, 4:51, 4:52, etc.
If I can do that, rather than writing a batch file to add like 10
Scheduled Tasks, could I just make a stopservices.cmd file and run
that?
echo
net stop "IMail POP3 Service"
net stop "IMail SMTP Service"
etc.
Will it cause a problem stopping a bunch of services all at once? Is
there a certain order I should stop the IMail Services?
Otherwise, any suggestions?
Thanks,
