Rebooting
Use the INITIALIZE SERVER command to reboot the access server, or to
cancel a previous INITIALIZE SERVER command. Using the INITIALIZE
command, the access server returns to a state which is exactly the same as if
you powered up the server (i.e., all settings are restored to the values
specified in the permanent database. Values specified using SET commands
are reset to the values in the permanent database, users are logged out, and
the server image is reloaded).
INITIALIZE DELAY Command
You can specify a delay period before the access server reboots. When you
issue the INITIALIZE command without specifying a delay period, the
access server broadcasts a warning to all ports notifying any users who are
logged on (the default is 1 minute). If you specify a delay time which is
between 2 and 29 minutes, the server will broadcast a warning immediately,
and then every minute for each of the last 5 minutes, until re-initialization.
If you specify a delay of 30 minutes or greater, the access server will
broadcast a message immediately, once every 30 minutes prior to re-
initialization, and then once every minute for the last 5 minutes. These
messages are broadcast regardless of the BROADCAST setting. Broadcast
messages are only displayed at ports that have BROADCAST enabled.
