Commands are issued to an Identity Server when you make configuration changes and when you select an action such as stopping or starting the Identity Server.
Certain commands, such as start and stop commands, retry up to 10 times before they fail. The first few retries are spaced a few minutes apart, then they move to 10-minute intervals. These commands can take over an hour to result in a failure. As long as the command is in the retry cycle, the command has a status of pending.
If you do not want to wait for the cycle to complete, you need to manually delete the command.
If you enter the same command and it succeeds before the first command has completed its retry cycle, the first command always stays in the pending state. You need to manually delete the command.
The Command Status page lists scheduled events and the current status of each event. A new command appears in the list each time you change a configuration. The commands remain listed until you delete them.
