Dennis,
        It's pretty safe to unload DSMC while it's not doing anything (i.e.
waiting for the next scheduled event).  However, I'd caution against
unloading DSMC while it was 'active' (in the process of backing up or
restoring files).  I've seen that crash Netware servers on a couple of
occasions... in this case, it's much safer to cancel the session from
the ADSM server.
