EXIT Command The EXIT command stops the Exchange/SNA command interpreter and returns
control to the command interpreter.
E[XIT]
Considerations The EXIT command stops the Exchange/SNA command interpreter and returns
control to the command interpreter. The EXIT command is the only way to make an
orderly exit from the Exchange/SNA command interpreter. Use the EXIT command
when you have finished using the Exchange/SNA command interpreter.
The EXIT command does not stop the Exchange/SNA line server. Nor does the
command sever the connection between the line server and the host. The EXIT
command does not affect any use of the line server by other processes, including other
Exchange/SNA command interpreters.
Exiting During a SEND or RECEIVE Command
If you issue an EXIT command while send and receive operations are in progress, a
message is displayed asking if you want to exit. If you respond yes (Y), the active
operations are terminated and the command interpreter is stopped exactly as if an
ABORT command had been entered. See the ABORT command, earlier in this section,
for more information.
If you respond no (N) to the message asking if you want to exit, the send and receive
operations continue uninterrupted and the command interpreter is not stopped.
Examples 1. This example shows the EXIT command when no operations are in progress:
>exit
SNCI30 DISCONNECTED FROM LINE SERVER '$SNAX1'
2. This example shows the EXIT command when one or more operations are in
progress:
>exit
SNCI60W THERE ARE SENDS AND/OR RECEIVES ACTIVE
SNCI60* DO YOU STILL WANT TO DISCONNECT? (Y/N)
>y
SNCI27 SERVER '$Z247' HAS BEEN STOPPED
SNCI30 DISCONNECTED FROM THE LINE SERVER '$SNAX1'
