- Indefinitely: An indefinite shutdown. This is a good choice when shutting down the
server to carry out any vital maintenance, for example replacing hard drives, or making
the first backup of a new database. The server needs to be manually unlocked after
maintenance work.
- Minutes: Allows you to stipulate when to restart the server (short time frame). It is

Specify the time period by clicking the Up and Down arrows.
- Lock until: Allows you to stipulate when to restart the server (longer time frame).
Specify the time period by clicking the Up and Down arrows.
