6.2 Stopping ArkManager

Stopping ArkManager on a Server

To stop ArkManager, enter the following command at the server console command prompt:

rcnovell-ark stop

After typing arkstop, make sure ArkManager is shutting down cleanly before running it again. You can check this in two ways:

  • In iManager if the Display Log option is enabled for the server, the log messages are displayed at ArchiveVersioning > Archive Jobs > Log tab.

  • On the archive server’s console screen, use the rcnovell-ark status command to check that no ArkManager process is running.

It might take a while for ArkManager to shut down because it needs to wait for its current file archiving process to finish. Under normal circumstances, ArkManager should eventually shut down cleanly.
