How to start or stop Squirrel

Start Application

In HCL Domino 14.0/14.5, the Domino JVM writes out the following warning message for any Java tasks (RunJava, HTTP, etc). As written out in the release notes, this warnung may be ignored.

WARNING: A terminally deprecated method in java.lang.System has been called
WARNING: System::setSecurityManager has been called by lotus.notes.AgentSecurityManager (file:/D:/D-Programme/HCL/Domino/ndext/Notes.jar)
WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of lotus.notes.AgentSecurityManager
WARNING: System::setSecurityManager will be removed in a future release

Option 1: Program Document

The easiest and recommended way is to add a program document in the HCL Domino directory.

To reduce memory usage in the Domino JVM, the “SingleRun” parameter can be specified to stop Squirrel after all subscription documents have been processed. The “Repeat interval of” parameter in the program document schedules Squirrel to run at the specified intervals.
