How to Kill Anope Services

IRCs enable synchronous Web conferencing.

Anope Services is an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) protocol for messaging by text over the Web. It comes with a number of features that help you run an IRC network, including NickServ, which is a nickname management service; MemoServ, a system for messaging offline users; and BotServ, a suite of services for bots, which are automated programs that appear as users. Though Anope guarantees the stability of the builds it releases for download, any program can freeze or fail to respond. Windows kills unresponsive programs with the Task Manager.

Instructions

1. Right-click the taskbar at the bottom of your screen.

2. Select "Start Task Manager." Windows Task Manager will open.

3. Click on the manager's "Processes" tab.

4. Click "anope.exe" from the process list.

5. Click "End Process." A confirmation dialog box will open asking, "Do you want to end 'anope.exe'?"

6. Click "OK." Anope Services will close.
