SHUTDOWN Command (Old)

The SHUTDOWN command stops the PATHMON-controlled objects.

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 LINKMON processes or 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.

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 LINKMON processes or 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.

Note. The SHUTDOWN2 command replaces the SHUTDOWN command. It is recommended

you use the SHUTDOWN2 command for a faster, more reliable means of stopping your

Pathway environment. The SHUTDOWN command is still available to maintain backward

compatibility.
