SHUTDOWN2 Command
STATUS
specifies whether status information is to be displayed during a shutdown.
If you omit this attribute, the default is QUIET.
QU or QUIET
causes PATHCOM not to display any messages until the shutdown request
completes. After the shutdown request is completed, PATHCOM displays the
results of the shutdown.
AG or AGGREGATE
causes PATHCOM to display the Pathway environment status every 20
seconds while shutdown is executing. Regular status display enables the
operator to monitor the shutdown process. Status continues to be displayed
until shutdown completes.
UNTIL
specifies the time interval in which the shutdown process is to complete.
If you omit this attribute, the default is DONE.
DONE
causes PATHCOM to suspend operation until shutdown completes or until the
Break key is pressed.
TIMEOUT
returns control to the PATHCOM process in the specified time. The UNTIL
TIMEOUT option is equivalent to pressing the Break key after the specified
time.
The time is specified by a number followed by HRS, MINS, or SECS. If
shutdown completes before the timeout occurs, the PATHCOM prompt is
returned. If the timeout occurs and shutdown has not completed, the
PATHCOM prompt returns without affecting the execution of the shutdown
process.
Using the Break Key During Shutdown
You can use the Break key during shutdown to return the PATHCOM prompt without
affecting the execution of the shutdown process. Returning the PATHCOM prompt
enables you to investigate the state of the system (for example, issue a STATUS
PATHWAY command), examine or stop any object, or escalate the shutdown process.
