Description: Issues a command to a server program or task. The command is especially useful for stopping a server task without stopping the server.
Note Most server commands support the arguments "-?" and "/?" to display online help. For example, you could enter one of these to obtain help for the server command Tell Amgr:
Tell Amgr /?
Tell Router Quit -- Stops only the Router task. All other tasks on the server continue to run.
Specialized Tell commands
Some Tell commands are common to all server tasks -- for example, Tell task Quit. Other Tell commands are unique to a particular task. These tasks have unique Tell commands:
You can enter a Tell command directly from the Server - Status tab in the Domino Administrator.

3. If necessary, click Tools to display the tool bar, and then click Task - Tell.
4. Select the options you want and click OK.
5. (Optional) Click Console to see the response to the Tell command.
