Hello,

I am constructing linux start/stop script for domino. I also want to be able to do maintenance daily or weekly where the domino server is shut down and some fixup/compact etc is performed.

The problem for me when doing this on a Sametime server is that sometimes the server is not shut down correctly and some processes might linger a bit afterwards and stopping the maintenance job and stopping the following startup.

So far this is what i have for a stop and restart with maintenance (a snippet):

case "$1" in
"start")
chown notes.notes /local/rebuild # view_rebuild_directory
su - notes -c "screen -L -d -m /opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server"
;;
"stop")
su - notes -c "/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server -quit"
su - notes -c "/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/nsd -kill"
;;
"restart-checksysdb")
su - notes -c "/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server -quit >> restartlog.log"
su - notes -c "/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/nsd -kill >> restartlog.log"
su - notes -c "/bin/bash /opt/maintenance/check-sysdb.sh >> restartlog.log"
su - notes -c "screen -L -d -m /opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server"

The part with "restart-checksysdb" is the tricky part. "nsd -kill" does not always do the job when the sametime server has for example crashed already before the job is run.

I have been experimenting with:
pgrep -l ibm | awk `{print $1}` | xargs kill -9
But not really achieved a perfect result.

So do anybody have any script that is more extensive than this?

Also I wonder if there is an interest with other people to exchange start/stop scripts for domino on the different linux distributions. There is probably a lot to learn from a script-exchange.
