122 Chapter 6 Configuring Verity K2 Server
Stopping K2 Server
You can run K2 Server either as a Windows service or in a command window, as an
ordinary application. Unless you use the
-ntService 1 option when starting K2
Server, K2 runs in the command window.
Stopping K2 when run as a service
To halt K2 Server when it is running as a Windows service, you have two options:
• Open the Services Control Panel and stop the K2 Server service.
• Open a command window and enter the command:
k2server -ntService 0
Stopping K2 when run as an application
When K2 is running as an application in a command window, you stop K2 by issuing
a Ctrl+C keyboard command to kill the process in the window where it is running.
Stopping K2 Server on Linux/UNIX
The ColdFusion installation includes a script for halting K2 Server. The stopk2server
script can be found in
/opt/coldfusion/bin by default.
