SHUTDOWN2 Command
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
LINKMON processes or 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 LINKMON 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; in other words, once you have
initiated the shutdown process, you cannot stop that process.
MODE
specifies the amount of force to be used when shutting down the system.
The default is ORDERLY.
OR or ORDERLY
allows work in progress to complete before stopping. For example, a terminal
that is waiting for the completion of an I/O to a server is not stopped until the
I/O completes.
The PATHCOM process is suspended until the shutdown request completes or
until the Break key is pressed. After shutdown, the PATHCOM prompt is
returned.
Note. In previous releases of Pathway, the only shutdown command available was the
SHUTDOWN command. It is recommended, however, that you use the SHUTDOWN2
command for a faster, more reliable shutdown operation. For compatibility reasons the
SHUTDOWN command is still supported.
