UPSUTIL: Command >
STOP Command
The STOP command instructs UPSUTIL to attempt to stop execution of the system’s UPS Monitor Process. If
the UPS Monitor process is running when the STOP command is given, then UPSUTIL performs the STOP
operation by sending a “shutdown” message to the running UPS Monitor Process. The “shutdown” message
causes the UPS Monitor Process to shut itself down (TERMINATEs the process). However, if there is no copy
of the UPS Monitor Process running when the STOP command is given, then UPSUTIL rejects the STOP
command, and displays a warning message to the user explaining that the STOP command could not be
executed because the UPS Monitor Process is not currently running.
The first example below shows a normal, successful execution of the STOP command, while the second
example shows the results when the STOP command is rejected because the UPS Monitor Process is not
currently running.
Before issuing the STOP command, you can use the STATUS command to verify that the UPS Monitor
Process is running.
After executing the STOP command, you can use the STATUS command to verify that the STOP command
worked. The STATUS command should reveal that the UPS Monitor Process is no longer running.
