Each server can only run one repository at a time: to run
another repository, you need to start another server, or to
suspend
the current server first. Similarly, the server
can not remain running if the server program is closed (via
File | Exit)
or killed. The server requires its windowing session to be and remain alive. If
your operating system allows you to keep a windowing session alive as a
background process even after the user who started the server has logged out,
and to reattach that windowing session to a screen later, you may be able to
keep the MetaEdit+ server running as a background process, whilst logging out
yourself.
If you do not wish to remain logged in e.g. overnight, you
must suspend the server by choosing
Server Suspend from the Server
launcher, and then close the server
program by
File |
Exit. The server should then be restarted the next time you log
in.
