{{category Data analysis servers(kaim* & kaih*)}}{{category Batch system(kaibm*)}}

Note when restarting IDL after a forced termination.

[Problem]
If you force-quit IDL(*), you may have trouble to restart it.

[Cause]
The IDL configuration file may be damaged due to the forced termination.
As a result, the IDL will fail to initialize and cannot be started.

[Workaround]
The following two workarounds are available:
　- Rename "~/IDLWorkspace"
　- Rename "~/.idl"

(*) The followings are how to force-quit IDL:
　- Press the Ctrl+C on the command line
　- Use the kill command
　　(use the option '-9' if it doesn't work without options.)
Note that both of these procedures can damage the configuration file.
