# Issue a Pause or Unpause Event

You can issue a `PAUSE` event to pause:

| • | The complete iProcess system.

| • | A server and all the processes running on it.

| • | Process types.

| • | Individual instances of processes.

The following server processes can be paused:

| • | `WIS Mbox Daemon (WISMBD)`

| • | `Work Item Server (WIS)`

| • | `Background (BG)`

| • | `Case Prediction Server (BGPREDICT)`

| • | `Deadline Manager (DLMGR)`

| • | `Database Queue Daemon (DBQD)`

Similarly, you can issue an `UNPAUSE` event to restart any previously `PAUSED` process.

To issue a `PAUSE` or `UNPAUSE` event, use the following command:

`swsvrmgr PAUSE | UNPAUSE [``machine_name``|` `machine_id``[``process_name``[``instance``]]] [-T` `timeout``]`

where:

| • | `machine_name` is the name of the server.

| • | `machine_id` is the unique identifier of the server. You can find a server’s identifier using the `swsvrmgr` status command.

| • | `process_name` is the process name of the server process you want to stop.

| • | `instance` is the instance of the process to stop.

| • | `timeout` is the optional timeout period that can be used to specify the time after which the command will terminate. If this is not specified, the default is 60 seconds.

## Example

The following command pauses the third instance of the background process on server Hercules.

    swsvrmgr PAUSE hercules BG 3
    BG 3 PAUSED
    Process(es) successfully paused

The following command restarts the same background process.

    swsvrmgr UNPAUSE hercules BG 3
