Shutting down the Network Server

To shut down a Network Server, you can invoke a script, a jar file, or a class.

The scripts to shut down a Network Server are located in the $DERBY_HOME/bin directory.

Important: If user authentication is enabled, you must specify a valid Derby user name and password; if the user authentication check fails, you'll see an authentication error and the running server remains intact. Note that Derby does not yet restrict the shutdown privilege to specific users: the server can be shut down by any user on the server machine who presents valid credentials.

To shut down the Network Server by using the scripts provided for Windows systems, use:

stopNetworkServer.bat [-h hostname] [-p portnumber] [-user username] [-password password]

To shut down the Network Server by using the scripts provided for UNIX systems, use:

stopNetworkServer [-h hostname] [-p portnumber] [-user username] [-password password]
