Stopping Links and Services
Stopping Links and Services
You use the NSCONTROL STOP command to stop the Network Services
and the NETCONTROL STOP command to stop the links and transport.
You should always stop all Network Services before you stop the
network transport.
To Stop Network Services
NSCONTROL STOP allows all processes that are currently using the
services to end normally before the services are actually terminated. If
you need to stop the services immediately and do not wish to wait until
current processes complete, use the NSCONTROL ABORT command. Be
aware that using this command will cause errors to processes that are
currently using the services.
To Stop a Single Network Service
To stop a specific Network Service or group of Network Services while
the remaining active services remain active, enter the NSCONTROL
STOP command followed by an equal sign and a list of the services you
wish to stop. For example, to stop Remote File Access for both local and
remote users, enter the following command:
NSCONTROL STOP=RFA,RFAL
To Stop All Network Services
To stop all Network Services enter the following command:
NSCONTROL STOP
Current active processes that are using the services will be allowed to
complete before the services are terminated.
To Abort Network Services
To terminate all Network Services regardless of whether or not
currently active processes are using the services, enter the following
command:
NSCONTROL ABORT
To Stop Network Interfaces
To Stop a Single Network Interface
Issue the following command to stop a single network interface:
