2. Select the Server view
3. Select Programs view
4. Click Add Program
5. Under the Basics tab and in the field Program name enter: nserver (for iSeries, enter server)
6. In the Command line enter:
    -c “quit” ( for ending the Lotus Domino Server )
    -c “restart server” ( for restarting the Lotus Domino Server )
7. Fill in the Server to run on field and also set a schedule under the Schedule tab. The server does not need to be rebooted for this Program document to take effect
