Auto-restart for Domino R5 on UNIX platforms (R5.0.1)

Domino R5 on UNIX platforms includes an auto-restart capability that was introduced in R4.6. If you enable auto-restart, you can shut down the server with greater ease in the event of a failure and restart the server automatically at a time you specify.

In R5, auto-restart is faster if you utilize transaction logging. Transaction logging allows auto-restart to skip some restart steps after a crash. Third-party clustering software can use auto-restart to provide enhanced uptime and reliability.

You can use auto-restart to notify you of a failure, to restart the server, or to perform both functions. Administrators can configure auto-restart to set the server to restart immediately or to wait for a specified interval before restarting. Third-party clustering software can modify the auto-restart script to further customize this feature.
