NSCONTROL STOP
Discussion
NSCONTROL STOP is the normal way to shut down the Network Services.
It allows existing users to continue using the services until they finish
their tasks, but prevents any new users from using the services. The
ABORT function, on the other hand, immediately terminates all the
services and all the server processes. Anyone using a service will find
their task (DSCOPY, for example) immediately terminated. See the
discussion of NSCONTROL ABORT.
Example 1
Example 1 shows NSCONTROL STOP without the service list. All Network
Services are stopped. Any active servers are allowed to continue until
finished with the current task, at which point they are terminated. No
new change requests are accepted. When all the servers and services
are stopped, the DSDAD process terminates. In the example, an
NSCONTROL ABORT command is issued after the NSCONTROL STOP
command to make sure all Network Services activity is stopped.
:NSCONTROL STOP {users and servers allowed to finish}
:NSCONTROL ABORT {terminates all network services activity}
:NETCONTROL STOP {terminates all network transport activity}
Example 2
The NSCONTROL STOP=VT,VTA,VTR command shown in the following
example stops the VT, VTA, and Reverse VT services. This prevents
remote users from logging on to the local node using REMOTE HELLO and
from opening local terminals using Reverse VT. If there are any other
active Network Services, they remain available.
:NSCONTROL STOP=VT,VTA,VTR
