controlled shutdown or stops immediately. 
Controlled Shutdown 
To stop the ASAP Hybrid for Linux server in an orderly manner, send it a 
SIGTERM, SIGINT, or SIGQUIT signal. For example: 
kill –s SIGTERM <server PID> 
where <server PID> is the process ID of the ASAP Hybrid for Linux server process. 
When the server process receives one of these signals, it immediately stops all 
secondary threads, flushes registration information to its segment information 
file, cleans up any down or removed domains if configured to do so, and then 
exits. 
Immediate Shutdown 
To stop the server immediately without performing an orderly shutdown, send it 
a SIGKILL signal: 
kill –s SIGKILL <server PID> 
where <server PID> is the process ID of the ASAP Hybrid for Linux server process. 
In this case, the server is stopped immediately and does not perform any 
cleanup-related operations. 
Configuring the ASAP Hybrid for Linux 
Server 
Server configuration settings are stored by default in the asap.conf file located in 
the server’s program directory. The location can be changed using the –conf 
command line option when running the server. The server process loads this 
configuration information immediately at startup. To control server behavior, 
alter the settings in this file before starting the server process, or else alter the 
settings and signal the server process to reload the file as described in 
Dynamically Altering Configuration Options.
