STOP PROCESS
specifies the name of the NonStop AutoTMF software monitor process to be 
stopped. The default is the current monitor for the session.
mapdb
specifies the subvolume of a MapDB. This is an alternative method to specify the 
process to be stopped.
STOP PROCESS
This command attempts to stop a process in a way that allows NonStop AutoTMF 
software to commit all active automatic transactions. To stop a process, the command 
must be issued by the user ID or the manager ID of the process creator, or by the 
SUPER user.
ESCORT CI sends a special message to the process, so the process must be reading 
$RECEIVE.
This command is intended to be used in emergencies where automatic transactions 
are not being committed and you want to prevent transaction aborts and loss of data. 
When the message is received, the automatic transactions are committed and the 
process is abended. A message is written to the process home terminal and to the 
EMS log.
cpu,pin | process-name
specifies the process id or name of the application process to be stopped.
TIME
Displays the current local time of day as obtained from the local Guardian timekeeping 
function. You may also request the local time as seen by another system on your 
Expand network.
systemname
identifies an Expand system for which the local system time is desired.
TRACE
Specifies a NonStop AutoTMF software trace configuration and enables tracing. When 
prepared programs begin execution, the programs access the trace configuration and, 
if enabled, begin tracing selected operations to the trace file.
Programs already executing are not traced unless dynamic tracing is enabled (see 
ALTER GLOBAL). 
STOP PROCESS { cpu,pin | process-name };
TIME [ systemname ];
