STOP Command
STOP Command
Use the STOP command to request termination of a running process.
\node-name
is the system where the process resides.
$process-name
is the name of the process or process pair.
cpu,pin
is the CPU number and process number for the process.
Considerations
If a process terminates successfully, TACL does not display a message. Otherwise,
the STOP command displays information about the outcome of the termination
request. The possible outcomes are listed in Table 8-9.
•
If the process cannot be terminated immediately, the STOP operating system
procedure queues the request.
•
If you do not specify a process (cpu,pin or $process-name), STOP stops the
process most recently started by TACL or the one for which TACL most recently
paused, if that process is still running.
•
The super ID can stop any user process. A group manager can stop any process
whose creator accessor ID matches any user ID in the group. Other users can stop
processes that have creator accessor IDs that match their user IDs or those that
have their stop mode set to zero. (See the Guardian Procedure Calls Reference
Manual for remote process restrictions.)
