TS/MP 2.5 System Management Manual

When you issue the SHUTDOWN command, the PATHMON process:
• Initiates the FREEZE and STOP for all server classes that PATHMON controls; stops the terminals
and Pathway/iTS TCPs; writes the internal configuration and directory information to the
PATHMON configuration file; and stops the PATHMON process itself.
If a server process is engaged in a dialog at the time the SHUTDOWN command is issued, the
shut down process waits until the dialog has completed.
• Notifies ACS subsystem processes and Pathway/iTS external TCPs of the shutdown, which
prohibits them from sending data or requests to the server classes controlled by the PATHMON
process.
The SHUTDOWN command does not stop PATHCOM.
SHUTDOWN [ ! ] [ , WAIT ]
!
directs the PATHMON process to stop all terminals, including those in the SUSPEND-RESUME and
the SUSPEND-ABORT states, before stopping the Pathway/iTS TCPs, notifying the ACS subsystem
processes and Pathway/iTS external TCPs, and stopping itself.
If you omit this parameter, an ABORT TERM command must precede the SHUTDOWN command to
stop those terminals that are not in the correct state.
This parameter does not apply if the PATHMON process controls only server classes.
WAIT
directs the PATHMON process to retry this command if a terminal stop, TCP stop, or request from a
process outside Pathway is rejected with a REQUEST-PENDING error. The Break key aborts this
command.
If you omit this attribute, this command aborts on any error.
Examples
This command stops all terminals, except those in a SUSPEND state, before stopping all server
processes, Pathway/iTS TCPs, and the PATHMON process and notifying the ACS subsystem
processes:
SHUTDOWN
This command stops all PATHMON-controlled objects, including terminals in a SUSPEND state:
SHUTDOWN!,WAIT
The PATHMON process retries the SHUTDOWN!,WAIT command if a terminal, Pathway/iTS TCP,
or other process, such as a ACS subsystem process, has a request pending.
SHUTDOWN2 Command
The SHUTDOWN2 command stops the PATHMON-controlled objects. Use the SHUTDOWN2 command
to stop the Pathway environment in one of three ways. The three ways are progressively more
forceful.
The SHUTDOWN2 command cannot be reversed, and when you have initiated the shutdown process,
you cannot stop that process.
NOTE: In previous releases of Pathway, the only shutdown command available was the SHUTDOWN
command. HP recommends, however, that you use the SHUTDOWN2 command for a faster, more
reliable shutdown operation. For compatibility reasons, the SHUTDOWN command is still supported.
