Hi all

Normally when I try to restart the SQL service for a reason, couple thing that I look at it before shutting SQL:
1. Look the job that is currently is running or not
2. Look at the Process Info (status and Login Time)

The schenario is that the box has many databases and we don't have a time to let other user get out from the system or potentially that there is scheduled job that running within from instance that we don't know.

Am I looking the right thing here before restarting the service? What is the best practise anyway to handle this.

I am appreciated your comment.

Thanks

schedule the restart, first send out emails, pause all jobs then restart.
