Task 4: Stop Other User Processes
Task 4: Stop Other User Processes
Any user processes you stop in this step can be restarted once system access is restored. 
If there are no other user processes to stop, proceed to Task 5: Start a New TACL 
Process on page 16-29.
1. Make sure you are logged on as the Super ID (255, 255) or as the user’s group 
manager (n, 255).
2. Determine the names of the user’s running processes by entering:
> STATUS *, TERM $terminal-name
3. Note the names of any running processes. For unnamed processes, note the CPU and 
PIN numbers of those processes. You will need them to stop the unnamed processes.
4. Stop user processes either individually or all at once. To stop user processes one at a 
time, go to Step 4a. To step all running processes at once, go to Step 4b.
a. You might want to stop any running processes individually to ensure there are 
no problems, or if there is a certain order in which they must be stopped.
1. Stop a named process by using the TACL STOP command:
> STOP $process-name
Repeat this command for each named process you need to stop.
2. Stop an unnamed process by using the TACL STOP command:
> STOP cpu,pin
Repeat this command for each unnamed process you want to stop.
b. Stop all running processes except the user’s TACL process in one command by 
entering the following command from the user’s terminal (if entered from 
another terminal, this command stops everything on that user’s terminal):
> STATUS *, TERM $terminal-name, STOP
See the TACL Reference Manual for complete syntax, considerations, and examples of 
the STOP command.
Example
To stop the unnamed TEDIT process that the user SALES.BONNIE is running on her 
terminal $JT1.#J01, enter:
> STATUS *, TERM $JT1.#J01 
> STOP 9,168
The specified process is stopped.
