Notes
- Stopping a service removes its associated resources from memory.
- Whenever possible before stopping a service, pause the service first
and then send a message to connected users that the service is about
to be stopped. This gives users time to save their work and
disconnect. See net pause and net
send earlier in this chapter. - You can't stop the Fax service as this service
functions on demand and stops automatically when there are no faxes
to send or receive.
