Notify before execute 'restart server' or 'quit' on the Domino server console

Today I did some maintenance work on the operating system of a domino server. After the command 'quit' on the server console I got the following message
"Error compacting D:\data\admin4.nsf, system_db.ind -REPLICA -REN_WAIT 5 -RESTART: Program shutdown in progress"
Therefore I would like to see a notification before the server execute commands to avoid such error messages.

    What should this notification do?

    Before the command should be execute the notification should me ask if I really want to quit/restart the server (yes/no), when aktive tasks (e.g. compact, fixup) are in process.
    In my opinion it is critical to stop such processes during runtime.
    When I acknowledge the notification with (Y)es the server stops all active tasks immediately. With (N)o I can stop my decision to quit/restart the server and could use the console command with an additional parameter instead e.g. quit -wait / restart server -w

     


    Meaning who/what should be notified?

    When I posted the idea I had only thought of sending the notification to the server console.

     


    All users?

    ... but with your good question I have the idea to enhance the console commands with a new parameter -n or -n "<notification message>" to notify the users before execute the command.

    Maybe this could be solved by a new parameter for expample:

    quit -w

     

    w = wait for active tasks to finish (new tasks will not be started due to server shutdown is in progress)
