NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands

FSTOP The FSTOP command forces an immediate and complete orderly shutdown of
NonStop NET/MASTER MS, regardless of its operating state or the functions
currently being performed. The processes stopped are the NonStop NET/MASTER
MS control process (NCP) and all other processes in the NonStop NET/MASTER MS
system. This command does not wait for users to log off from NonStop
NET/MASTER MS before the shutdown sequence begins, however, the shutdown
sequence shuts down NonStop NET/MASTER MS services (such as OCS, NCL,
INMC, and ROC).
You cannot cancel or reverse the shutdown sequence after you enter this command
from NonStop NET/MASTER MS. Contrast this command with the SHUTDOWN
command, which begins an orderly shutdown of NonStop NET/MASTER MS, and
allows a shutdown to be stopped and reversed; and the SHUTDOWN $ABEND$
command, which shuts down NonStop NET/MASTER MS immediately and
completely.
