PATHMON Environment Control Commands

SHUTDOWN Command (Old)
•
Initiates the FREEZE and STOP for all server classes that PATHMON controls;
stops the terminals and Pathway/iTS TCPs; writes the internal configuration and
directory information to the PATHMON configuration file; and stops the PATHMON
process itself.
If a server process is engaged in a dialog at the time the SHUTDOWN command is
issued, the shut down process waits until the dialog has completed.
•
Notifies LINKMON processes and Pathway/iTS external TCPs of the shutdown,
which prohibits them from sending data or requests to the server classes controlled
by the PATHMON process.
The SHUTDOWN command does not stop PATHCOM.
!
directs the PATHMON process to stop all terminals, including those in the
SUSPEND-RESUME and the SUSPEND-ABORT states, before stopping the
Pathway/iTS TCPs, notifying the LINKMON processes and Pathway/iTS external
TCPs, and stopping itself.
If you omit this parameter, an ABORT TERM command must precede the
SHUTDOWN command to stop those terminals that are not in the correct state.
This parameter does not apply if the PATHMON process controls only server
classes.
WAIT
directs the PATHMON process to retry this command if a terminal stop, TCP stop,
or request from a process outside Pathway is rejected with a REQUEST-PENDING
error. The Break key aborts this command.
If you omit this attribute, this command aborts on any error.
Examples
This command stops all terminals, except those in a SUSPEND state, before stopping
all server processes, Pathway/iTS TCPs, and the PATHMON process and notifying
LINKMON processes:
SHUTDOWN
This command stops all PATHMON-controlled objects, including terminals in a
SUSPEND state:
SHUTDOWN!,WAIT
The PATHMON process retries the SHUTDOWN!,WAIT command if a terminal,
Pathway/iTS TCP, or other process, such as a LINKMON process, has a request
pending.
