Server Shut Off?

[Possum]

Around here, the fear is if you shut something off, it may never start again.

Our servers don't take long to fire up. Kodak support also advised us to reboot once a week. Though there are times when it goes longer without a reboot.

You should be able to set any service to auto start.

I have that fear here. I have a NT box feeding the platesetter. I get scared every time I have to shut that off.

The service is set to autostart, it just fails every single time. It's kinda important as it's the Kodak Proofing Service. I have no issue since I know how to operate computers but most normal users would have no clue. It's one of the issues I've had since install that Kodak never fixed.

It fails to auto start but you can manually start it? Must be trying to load too early. I wonder if there is a way to make it start later? Wait...did you say it is running Windows NT?

[Farabomb]

Nah, NT is the tiff catcher for the CAT. Prinergy is running a different, no longer supported OS, server 03.

That's what I was thinking, that something it needs isn't loaded or is being loaded. I don't know of a way to reorder or delay services on auto but I did have the thought. It will fail on boot 99% of the time and sometimes it will stop without warning and I have to restart it again.
