Unable to shut down daemon using stop command

 
  • Hi all. I've been struggling all day with this issue and can't seem to get anywhere. I'm administrating a HUB location and a DMZ location. These two are migrating over to new servers (Windows Server 2019) from old (Windows Server 2012) servers. While testing the new servers everything seems fine. But when I try to shut down a daemon nothing happens. That is to say, the executable runs and I get the "stop command executed" text. But the daemon stays up. With the exact same installations and scripts it works fine on Windows Server 2012 but not on the 2019 server. It's the same script that starts the daemon that shuts it down apart from "start" changed to "stop". So the script works.

    I'm running RPC on GlobalServer 3.5.0 and no services.

    I'm thinking that it has something to do with Windows Server 2019 environment rather than with Global. Has anyone else come across this issue and could lend a hand? Is there another way of stopping daemons other than "%globalexe% stop [proj]" that I don't know about? I really need this for my automated maintenance tasks.

    Thanks in advance,
    Timo
  • Downgraded server to Windows Server 2016 and now everything works fine.
