I HIGHLY recommend that you use the Client Acceptor Daemon to stop and start
the scheduler unless you
have firewall type issues. This has resolved many issues in the past
especially if there is a memory leak in the
code, because the scheduler ends when finished. note: the CAD requires you
to run in SCHEDMODE
PROMTED instead of POLLING.

To test (may not be totally valid), you could use UPD NODE and/or UPD ADMIN
FORCEPWRESET to
simulate.
