SHUTDOWN
NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands

SHUTDOWN The SHUTDOWN command begins an orderly shutdown of NonStop NET/MASTER
MS, and allows a shutdown to be stopped and reversed. Entering the SHUTDOWN
command with no operands places NonStop NET/MASTER MS in shutdown status.
This prevents users from logging on to NonStop NET/MASTER MS. This command
waits for all users to log off from NonStop NET/MASTER MS before the shutdown
sequence begins (including the user that issued the SHUTDOWN command). When
the last user logs off from NonStop NET/MASTER MS, the shutdown sequence
begins. The shutdown sequence shuts down NonStop NET/MASTER MS services
(such as OCS, NCL, INMC, and ROC) and then shuts down NonStop NET/MASTER
MS itself.
Contrast this command with the FSTOP command, which forces an immediate and
complete orderly shutdown of NonStop NET/MASTER MS; and the SHUTDOWN
$ABEND$ command, which shuts down NonStop NET/MASTER MS immediately
and completely. You can use the STATUS command to display if a shutdown is
pending.
SHUTDOWN [ CANCEL ]
CANCEL
stops and reverses the shutdown sequence. You must enter this command before
the last user logs off to stop the shutdown sequence. Users can log on to NonStop
NET/MASTER MS again after the shutdown sequence has been canceled.
Considerations
The default authority level of this command is 3.
You can enter either this command from any NCL procedure, except the INIT
NCL procedure, by using either the CMD core statement or the INTCMD verb.
You can enter this command from TACL by using the NNM program, if you are
one of the following:
The user that started the NonStop NET/MASTER MS system.
The group manager of the user that started the NonStop NET/MASTER MS
system.
The super ID (255,255).
Note You cannot issue the SHUTDOWN CANCEL command from TACL by using the NNM program. However,
you can cancel and reverse the shutdown operation by pressing the BREAK key before the SHUTDOWN
command is submitted to the BSYS virtual user, or a user logged on to NonStop NET/MASTER MS can
cancel and reverse the shutdown operation by issuing the SHUTDOWN CANCEL command from
NonStop NET/MASTER MS.
