STOP Command The STOP command stops the Exchange/SNA line server.
STOP [ ! ]
!
specifies that the line server is to be stopped immediately, even if send and receive
operations are active. Any active send and receive operations are aborted.
If you omit the exclamation point (!), and any send or receive operations are active
when you enter the STOP command, a message is displayed that informs you of
the active send and receive operations and asks if you want to stop the line server
anyway. If you respond yes (Y) to this prompt, the line server is stopped. If you
respond no (N) to this prompt, the line server is not stopped and the active send
and receive operations continue uninterrupted.
Considerations The STOP command does the following:
1. If the exclamation point is included in the STOP command, the line server
performs the equivalent of a DOWN ! * command, which aborts all active send
and receive operations and takes all subdevices out of service.
OR
If the exclamation point is omitted from the STOP command and either there are
no send or receive operations active or you answered Y to the prompt, the line
server performs the equivalent of a DOWN * command, which takes all
subdevices out of service as soon as all active send and receive operations have
completed.
2. It sends to the host the USS character-coded command (for SNAX/XF) or the field-
formatted TERM-SELF command (for SNAX/CDF) from the file specified in the
LOGOFF configuration parameter when the line server was started. See the
LOGOFF parameter in the SET command description for more information.
3. It severs the connection with the host. This includes terminating all sessions
between the line server’s LUs and the host’s LUs.
4. It severs the connection between all Exchange/SNA command interpreters and
the line server.
5. It stops the line server. If the trace server is running, it is also stopped.
6. It resets all the configuration parameters in your Exchange/SNA command
interpreter to their default values.
To use the STOP command, the command interpreter must be privileged with respect
to the line server (that is, the command interpreter must have the same accessor (user)
ID as the command interpreter that started the line server). If the command
interpreter is not privileged with respect to the line server, an error message is
displayed and the line server is not stopped.
