Description: Stops the server. This command is identical to the Server - Shutdown command. However, the Quit server command differs from the Tell server command, which you use to stop a particular server task without stopping the server.
If you stop a server while it's replicating databases or routing mail, these tasks resume at the next scheduled interval after you restart the server. Replication or mail routing continues until the databases are fully replicated and until the complete mail message is transferred or returned to the sender.
Before you use the Quit server command to stop the server, use the Broadcast server command to warn users to finish their current tasks before you stop the server.
Tip You can also stop the server from the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Administrator. From the Domino Administrator, click the Server - Status tab. From the tool bar, click Servers - Shutdown.
