Server Performance with Form 6i server

Question

Hi,
I am still on 6i. Recently I begin to move from the traditional client-server to the web and discovered that the 6i could not operate well in Windows XP on P4 machines. So I started to put in patch 10. It works fine.
However, I could not find a solution to stop the end users from closing their browser while the 6i applet is still running. This is casuing a major problem to us becasue when ever a user does this, my server's processor indicator will shows that my processor is running at 100% and the memory (both virtual and physical) will increase unlimitedly until cilling and the entire server will jam and services will stop.
Then when I tried to restart the services, the server will report that the port is being use and cannot start the service. Result of so, I will have to wait for 30-40 minutes and all my users are interrupted.
I have even tried to tell the users to exit the application prior to closing the browsers, but some of them were the directors and they just being too buzy to follow the steps and would rather choose to close the browser and continue with their other routines.
Can any one share some ideas to protect this? Thanks
Thank you

Answer 1

I shall try that, but jon, for your information, I cannot patch 15 becasue with patch 15, I will be facing the same problem with P4 on xp again.
