Re: How to tell if ClassServer is running

Does that not leave me with the "new" Class Server running, or does it
shut down after it stops the original?

Start a second instance of the ClassServer with the "-stop" argument on 
the same host as the first. It will send the initial ClassServer the 
shutdown message and terminate. The initial ClassServer should then 
terminate if it was run with "-stoppable".
