Need to kill the indesign server instances automatically and internal mechanism of indesign instance

@samy@123

The best solution would be some kind of an external WatchDog.

Something to keep in mind: If I'm not mistaken Adobe recommends only configuring the number of instances equal to the number of processors available in the machine... 20 instances to be equal to 20(+1) processor cores ... 

Would adding this to the script help?

console.log()  

Wondering if Catch Blocks work for you

I'm not a coding expert and I've never worked on InDesign server so hang with me while I try my amateurish methods and see if it helps in anyway

try {
    // Open and process each file
    files.forEach(function(file) {
        var document = app.open(file);
        // Perform some processing on the document
        // For example:
        // document.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File("/path/to/output.pdf"));
        document.close();
        console.log("File processed successfully: " + file.name);
    });
} catch (error) {
    // If an error occurs during processing, it will be caught here
    // Log the error for troubleshooting
    console.error("An error occurred:", error);
    // You can also perform other actions, such as notifying the user or rolling back changes
} finally {
    // Optional: Code that should always run, regardless of whether an error occurred
}

I suppose we need more info - I am probably way off base.

Do you have more info on what's happening.

Maybe one of the scripting gurus would be better at this - or a pluging/app developer might be better.

Hope it helps somehow.
