Shutting Down
Remember to make a back-up before shutting FirstOffice down. Back-ups are described
here.
Single-user
To shut FirstOffice down, select 'Quit' from the File menu. Macintosh OS X users can find the 'Quit' command on the Hansa OS X menu. The keyboard shortcut Alt-F4 (Windows and Linux) or ⌘-Q (Macintosh OS 9 and OS X) can be used. All open windows will be closed, and you will be asked if you want to keep any changes that have not yet been changed.
Multi-user
You can close FirstOffice clients in the same way as FirstOffice single-user: by selecting 'Quit' from the File or Hansa OS X menu.
You can shut the server down using one of two methods, if it has a graphical interface:
- If you use 'Quit' on the File menu, the server will automatically enter server mode the next time you start it up.
- If you use 'Quit, Remove Autoserver' on the File menu, the server will not go into enter server mode the next time you start it up. You should use this option if you want to do some work on the server.
If the server does not have a graphical interface and if you are not running the server process in the background, bring the Terminal window to the front and press the Ctrl-C key combination. Alternatively, open a new Terminal window and type the following:
- ps
- This displays the process IDs for each Terminal process
- kill pid
- (where pid is the process ID for the server process)
If you are running the server process in the background, use the ps and kill commands either in the relevant Terminal window or in a new one.
