Re: [foxboro] OSISoft PI Startup on P90 Windows 2003 Server

Yeah, I've never tried the Nutcracker (what a name :) kill command yet, 
and I've certainly used Task Manager (and Process Explorer from 
sysinternals.com) to slay some pests (though the lack of a "-9" or 
"dammit" button in Task Manager annoys me).  I guess what I was wondering 
is, what happens when you do this?  It is common in Unix-land to write a 
signal handler to trap kill signals (the normal variety, not the -9 kind), 
and do any required cleanup work (like closing OM lists) prior to exiting. 
 I don't know if that's even possible in Windows.

Further, the kill scripts in Unix allow other cleanup-type activities to 
occur on system shutdown.  Windows has no such standard mechanism I'm 
aware of, though I guess you could write one yourself that held up 
Windows' shutdown until it was good and ready.  I assume this because I've 
seen enough other Windows apps do it.  I mean, jeez -- who _is_ in charge 
of the computer, if it's not the OS?

Re: [foxboro] OSISoft PI Startup on P90 Windows 2003 Server






Corey,

We are running a P91 win 2003 server.  If you are in the Foxboro
nutcracker area it has pid's and the kill command works as before.  I
have not had to off anything that lives in windows land yet.  If I was
going to I would open task manager and look at applications and
processes until I found the offender and then end task and hope for the
best.  That is about as good as it gets!  I will say ( now I am doomed)
that so far the P91 has run quit well.  We are not doing anything to far
out of the ordinary.  We have FCP270s connected to 100 and 200 FBM's ,
five thin client operator stations and one 51B1 box as an operator
station and PI interface.
