Stopping the Server

On any system (whether the server is running in the foreground or the background), or even from a remote system, you can stop the server using one of the following methods. For more information about the stop-ds command, see stop-ds in Oracle Fusion Middleware Command-Line Usage Guide for Oracle Unified Directory.

To Stop the Server by Using stop-ds

1. Change to the appropriate directory.

   (UNIX, Linux)  $ cd install-dir/bin
   (Windows)         C:\> cd install-dir\bat

2. Type stop-ds

   (UNIX, Linux)  $ stop-ds
   (Windows)      C:\> stop-ds

To Stop the Server that is Running in the Foreground

This procedure assumes that the directory server is running as a foreground process (using the -N or --nodetach option).

• Type Control-C in a terminal window on UNIX or in the Command Prompt window on Windows systems to stop the server.

  Alternatively, run the stop-ds command from another window.

To Stop the Server by Using a Script (UNIX/Linux)

The stop-ds command provides a “quiet” option (-Q or --quiet) that suppresses output during the stopping process unless a significant error occurs. You can use this option in a shutdown script.

1. Create a shell script and add the following stop-ds command.

   install-dir/bin/stop-ds --quiet

2. Run the script.
