Shutdown methods to avoid on Windows NT

2> go

1> hs_shutdown no_wait
2> go
In some cases, shutting down your system without first shutting down
Historical Server can cause uncontrolled shutdown. Unless Historical Server is
experiencing a very high level of recording activity, its controlled shutdown
should take less than 20 seconds. If 20 seconds or more are used for the
controlled shutdown, however, the system may intervene and terminate
Historical Server in an uncontrolled way.
Warning! To be safe, Sybase recommends that you manually stop Historical
Server before you shut down the system.
Using the Kill Process button causes an uncontrolled shutdown.
If Microsoft Visual C++ Process Viewer tool is installed on your system,
Sybase recommends that you do not use the Kill Process button in the Process
Viewer window.
