Stopping the Proxy Server

This section describes the various methods to stop the Proxy Server on different platforms.

To Stop the Proxy Server From the Administration Interface

1. Access the Server Manager and click the Preferences tab.

2. Click the Start/Stop Server link.

   The Start/Stop Server page is displayed.

3. Click the Off button.

   The status of the server appears in the Start/Stop Server page.

To Stop the Proxy Server on UNIX or Linux

You can stop the Proxy Server on UNIX or Linux in either of the following ways:

• From the command line, go to server-root/proxy-serverid and type ./stop.

If you used the etc/inittab file to restart the server you must remove the line starting the server from /etc/inittab and type kill -1 1 before you try to stop the server. Otherwise, the server restarts automatically after it is stopped.

• Use stop, which shuts down the server completely, interrupting service until it is restarted. If you set the etc/inittab file to automatically restart using respawn, you must remove the line pertaining to the proxy server in etc/inittab before shutting down the server; otherwise, the server automatically restarts.

After you shut down the server, a few seconds might lapse before the server completes its shut-down process and its status changes to Off.

If your system crashes or is taken offline, the server stops and any requests it was servicing might be lost.

If you have a security module installed with your server, you will be required to provide the appropriate passwords before starting or stopping the server.
