You can terminate a server from promon R&D 4 | 7 | 7. I *highly* recommend that you don't use shared brokers for 4GL and SQL. If you can configure one broker, configuring two isn't difficult. And it eliminates problems like the one you're describing. Personally, I don't have a use-case for auto-trimming servers. Client load may vary over time, but eventually load will increase again so I will again need the number of running servers that were already instantiated. Trimming them in the interim when demand is low would just mean that future clients would have to wait for their re-instantiation. As for freeing resources, I don't care about that as I need the machine to have those resources available for the DB when load is high. In this context I'm referring to a DB that is production-like (prod, DR, UAT, etc.). Maybe a feature like this would be more valuable in a shared-resource environment like a dev DB server. On the other hand, you could just restart the DB, which shouldn't be difficult in dev.
