I am using NT 40 workstation and Windows 2000 Server with Orion 1.0 final release. It doesn't look like you solved your shutdown problems yet. I installed Orion and first ran java -jar orion.jar -install After entering my pw for admin I ran: java -jar orion.jar I then opened another command console and did the following: java -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost admin admin -shutdown Error: com.evermind.reflect.UndeclaredExceptionTypeException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException ava -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost:80 admin admin -shutdown Error: javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup error: java.io.StreamCorruptedException: Caught EOFException while reading the stream header; nested exception is: java.io.StreamCorruptedException: Caught EOFException while reading the stream header What am I doing wrong? I want to be able to shutdown nicely without using ctl+c Dale
