Start, stop or restart processes: These actions can be taken on a process by right clicking on the process entry.
NOTE:The options in the right click actions on the Windows Communication Server and Unix Communication Server are not enabled because stopping these Communication Server will result in losing contact with all of the processes.
The terms Starts and AutoRestarts, in the context of the Server View, are defined as follows:
-
Starts: The number of times the process was started, for whatever reason. This includes starts initiated by the user through the GUI or done automatically.
-
AutoRestarts: The number of times the process was automatically restarted. Because this only applies to purely automatic restart scenarios, it does not apply to restarts initiated by a user. This field is helpful for determining if the process exited (For example, because of an error) and was automatically restarted by Sentinel Watchdog.
