How to properly shutdown virtuoso?

I mean the cds.log, virtuoso.conf, simulstion, and everything.

Cdsnameserver, clsbd process, etc.

    You properly shut it down using File->Exit (or typing exit() in the CIW).

    The cdsNameServer, clsbd are actually daemon processes that are shared amongst multiple Virtuoso sessions (and for tools beyond Virtuoso); they are started automatically the first time that Virtuoso launches and persist (intentionally) after exit - they may already be being used by another Virtuoso (or other Cadence tool) that was started after the first. If you then killed them off, it would probably break the other Virtuoso sessions that are relying on those daemons (especially cdsNameServer, cdsXvnc; clsbd is more tolerant because it doesn't retain any state information).

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    cdsNameServer will exit itself if there are no sessions connected to it for 12 hours. If you want to kill it before that, you can use kill, but that is likely to break any running virtuoso sessions on the machine so that is not a good idea.

    I have no idea what you are talking about when you say "to do sth else, such as reading sth extremely secret".

    Andrew.

    I am sorry, andrew.

    I believe cadence would not do eavesdropping of any kind, Just was  a tiny teeny doubt.
