6.4.1 Closing Servers

Active servers may be closed using the controller. You must provide a valid control

password for the server.

Closing a server sets its maxClients attribute to zero (0) thus preventing any further

connections to be made. Already established connections are not affected. You may issue

an open command later to re-open a closed server, which will reestablish the maxClients

value for the server back to the value it was prior to closing. See Opening Servers

for more

details.

Only those servers where the control password matches the control session control

password will be closed.
