Cancelling a session at the server console usually is a very 'RISKY' action to 
take!!  If the dsmc nlm is unloaded while active and the server has a fair load 
on it (30%), an abend is sure to be the next thing that will be seen on screen. 
 Ctrl+C only works if the client is not busy, as netware does not forward the 
key stroke as a high priority to interrupt processing...  Experimentation on 
test servers (3.1x and 4.1x) showed us the only 'safe' way to abort a session 
for a netware client is to: 1. cancel session at ADSM server, 2. at the client 
screen, you'll see a something like 'connection lost waiting xxxxxxxx to 
re-attempt' this is the time to Ctrl+C for a safely close ...  Not elegant and 
certainly not a casual user task, but keeps the server from going south....

Thanks!!

The only way I know of for the users to do it is to do a CTRL-C on that
screen, which I'm not sure if that works if you're using RCONSOLE.

Subject:  Cancelling a Netware Client restore session?





How might one cancel a (V2 Netware client) ADSM restore session?

A quick look around the docs didn't show anything, and to start to
unload the NLM gives a dire warning about possibly crashing the
Netware server.

I have cancelled the session (and one that started when I cancelled
the 1st) and their tape mount requests at the ADSM server, but would
like
the users to be more independent (as would they!).

Ideas?  Thanks!
