You might want to try to use disconnect the related user from the database *before* killing the application, right? proshut -C disconnect I don't mean to cause alarm, but there are KB's that talk about the dangers of killing processes that share memory with the database, eg. knowledgebase.progress.com/.../P14679 View online You received this notification because you subscribed to the forum.
