ware Restart process, files normally FTPed to the Server 
are routed to a problem directory in the logging device.
When the Server is running again, these files are FTPed 
to the Server.
• Shut Down the Server’s Hardware - The Shutdown
Hardware option should only be selected if the Server’s 
hardware must be completely shut down—for example, if 
the Server box will be physically relocated. When this 
option is selected, the Server box shuts off, and files 
normally FTPed to the Server will be routed to a problem 
directory in the logging device. When the Server is 
rebooted, these files will be FTPed to the Server.
• Restart the Server’s Software - The Restart Software
option should be selected if daemons fail to run and/or 
the database needs to be started again. When this option 
is selected, the MySQL database is rebooted.
• Shut Down the Server’s Software - The Shutdown
Software option should be selected if a software update 
needs to be installed on the Server. When the Shutdown 
Software option is selected, the MySQL database shuts 
off and no files are FTPed to the Server.
