1.8 Stopping the Director
Under normal operation, you should not need to stop the Director. However, if circumstances require you to stop the Director, follow the instructions for your operating system.
/usr/sbin/desta stopOn TruClusters, you can run the /usr/sbin/webes_install_update program and choose the Stop WEBES Director option to stop the Director on either all the nodes in the cluster or a selected group of nodes that you choose.
/usr/sbin/desta stop
/usr/sbin/desta stop
desta stopOn OpenVMS clusters, you can uses the SYSMAN utility to issue the command do desta stop on either all the nodes in the cluster or a specific group of nodes that you choose.
Stop the Director by stopping the DESTA_Service Windows service. You can use any of the following methods:
- Select Programs > Hewlett-Packard Service Tools > Web-Based Enterprise Service > Stop Director from the Start menu.
- A Stop Director icon appears in the Task Bar, then disappears when the Director's shutdown has completed.
net stop DESTA_ServiceUsing the desta stop command on Windows systems is unsupported. Stopping the director this way is not recommended because:
- The Director may not stop completely, leaving running processes behind.
- Error messages may be displayed in either the logs for the Director process or in the desta stop output.
- The Director may take longer to stop than it normally would using one of the recommended methods, and may continue to run for a time even after the desta stop process has finished.
On Windows, the desta start/stop functionality is only intended to be used as a tool for investigating WEBES operational problems. If the Director is started with desta start, it must be stopped with desta stop.
