offline [silent]
Puts iNEWS offline. Users cannot log in, but users already on the system can continue
normal function. The silentoption suppresses diagnostics for network connections that are
refused because the system is offline. Both nxserver and workserver typically generate these
diagnostics.
The datastamp generator, server timer, includes an indication that the system is offline in the
timestamp messages produced on the console. This provides feedback that the system is
offline when the silentoption was specified.
The status command will print “OFFLINE (silent)” when the system is offline with the silent
option turned on.
You can keep the system offline and turn off the silent option by reentering the offline
command without the silent option.
