That worked. It updated. I got an email. MinimServer was stopped. I retstarted it. Everything working with a satisfactory workaround.

But in this case, I received no email and it didn't appear that the NAS had rebooted or installed any updates. (At least there were no messages I found indicating either thing.)

Thanks for explaining this. If this happens again, please look in the MinimServer shared folder at the contents of the files minimserver.log and minimserver-out.log. It's important to do this before you restart MinimServer as these files are overwriten by a restart. If either of these files shows anything unusual, please save copies of both files and let me know. Many thanks!

My Synology updated its DSM last night and MinimServer was not stopped. I think that means I've been through two updates without having it stop. Perhaps the problem of updates halting the server has been fixed?

I did a manual update to DSM 5.1-5022 update 3 to test this. The update completed much more quickly than usual and it didn't do a full restart of DSM as would normally happen when an update is applied. MinimServer was still running after this "mini-update".
