John, You need to be very careful on a service shutdown that you did not initiate, meaning the OS initiated it, or someone went to the "Services" control panel and told it to shut down.
As was mentioned earlier, it will shut down in 60 seconds no matter what, even if your clients are not ready to be shut down. We have this issue with every client because we simply cannot get certain clients to gracefully shutdown in 60 seconds or less...just not possible. As a result, we want things controlled via an interface on our side, and we also educate the IT organization on how they have to shut down our system.

Sounds like a good idea, but wondering if it might be a bit over kill for me. Bottom line is that at some point the server is quit without regard to who is logged in at the time whether done with a quit command or issued by the Windows service. The admin can see who is logged by firing up a client on the server and opening the Administration window before shutting down the computer or shutting down the service. If after hours the admin may have no choice but to let 4D server boot the clients off. From what I gather from the responses, it really does not matter as for as 4D is concerned, it will “gracefully" quit any 4D client hanger ons before quitting no matter how it is told to quit. There should never be any damage to the data. Thanks to those who responded.
