Failed to Stop ExIndex

I constantly get this error in my event log for different Index Archives.
Any suggestions on what is causing it?

Hello,

This issue could be due to configuration or bug. Both cases are possible, more details will be needed to find the exact answer e.g. version of EX you are using, time of these errors, What time your backup software kicks in? and so on.

All the error message means is that ExIndex.exe file that is responsible for updating indexes didn't get to stop even though a stop statement was issued. Why stop statement was issue and why it didn't stop are two different things to be investigated. As I mentioned earlier it could be bug or configuration.

If you are running earlier versions of EX suggestable would be to upgrade to the latest patch kit available and if you still continue to see error messages then talk to support.

Thanks,
Raj
