UPS Utility Manual

3.8 STOP Command
The STOP command instructs UPSUTIL to attempt to stop execution of the system's UPS Monitor Process.
If the UPS
Monitor process is running when the STOP command is given, then UPSUTIL performs the STOP operation by sending a
"shutdown" message to the running UPS Monitor Process. The "shutdown" message causes the UPS
Monitor Process to
shut itself down (TERMINATEs the process). However, if there is no copy of the UPS Monitor
Process running when the
STOP command is given, then UPSUTIL rejects the STOP command, and displays a warning message to the user explaining
that the STOP command could not be executed because the UPS Monitor Process is not currently running.
The first example below shows a normal, successful execution of the STOP command, while the second example
shows
the results when the STOP command is rejected because the UPS Monitor Process is not currently running.
Before issuing the STOP command, you can use the STATUS command to verify that the UPS Monitor Process is running.
After executing the STOP command, you can use the STATUS command to verify that the STOP command worked.
The
STATUS command should reveal that the UPS Monitor Process is no longer running.
