Verifying That Automatic Workstation Import and Removal Are Working

   java -killzenwsimp
   java -killzenwsrem

These commands are also contained in the sys:\system\zfdstop.ncf file.

To stop the import/removal service on a SLES 9 SP1 server or on an OES Linux server:

  1. At the Linux server prompt, go to /etc/init.d.
