SHUTDOWN2 Command

The SHUTDOWN2 command stops the PATHMON-controlled objects. Use the

SHUTDOWN2 command to stop the Pathway environment in one of three ways. The

three ways are progressively more forceful.

The SHUTDOWN2 command cannot be reversed; in other words, once you have

initiated the shutdown process, you cannot stop that process.

MODE

specifies the amount of force to be used when shutting down the system.

If you omit the MODE attribute, the default is ORDERLY.

OR or ORDERLY

allows work in progress to complete before stopping. For example, a terminal

that is waiting for the completion of an I/O to a server is not stopped until the

I/O completes.

The PATHCOM process is suspended until the shutdown request completes or

until the Break key is pressed. After shutdown, the PATHCOM prompt is

returned.

AB or ABORT

aborts all terminals and allows all other objects such as TCPs and server

classes to complete outstanding work before stopping.

The PATHCOM process is suspended until the shutdown request completes or

until the Break key is pressed. After shutdown, the PATHCOM prompt is

returned.

IM or IMMEDIATE

stops all server processes and Pathway/iTS TCPs immediately.

The PATHCOM is suspended until the shutdown request completes. After

shutdown, the PATHCOM prompt is returned.

Note. In previous releases of Pathway, the only shutdown command available was the

SHUTDOWN command. It is recommended, however, that you use the SHUTDOWN2

command for a faster, more reliable shutdown operation. For compatibility reasons the

SHUTDOWN command is still supported.
