As far as I understand:
IS was started using server.bat from command prompt window.
When shutting down the server by pressing “Ctrl-C” in the command prompt window, the JVM shuts down and Windows is asking if it should terminate the server.bat immediately (Choice ‘Y’) or if it should try to complete it (Choice ‘N’).
I prefer choosing ‘N’ here as this will delete the LOCKFILE in the IntegrationServer directory.
Choosing ‘Y’ stops the server.bat immediately and will not delete the LOCKFILE thus preventing a fresh start of the IS the next time.
Much better:
Just use the appropriate commands from the Windows Start Menu, especially for wM 9.x., as the handling for these engines has been changed recently.
