To shut down NS, issue the following commands (NM capability
required):
DSLINE @;CLOSE
NSCONTROL STOP
NETCONTROL STOP
The DSLINE command shown above closes connections
for your session only.
NSCONTROL STOP allows existing users to
continue using the services until they finish their current task
but prevents new uses of the services by these users or by new users.
Therefore, the services are not actually stopped until all existing
users finish using them. You can use NSCONTROL ABORT
instead if you wish to immediately terminate all use of the services.
NETCONTROL STOP closes all open connections.
To determine if there are any sessions still active, enter: NSCONTROL STATUS.
If you do not want to wait until existing users are finished with
their current tasks before you bring down the system, issue NSCONTROL ABORT
and then NETCONTROL STOP.
If a host-based X.25 link is started, you will also need to
issue a DTCCNTRL command to stop X.25 and PAD
support for the DTC/X.25 Network Access card. Enter the DTCCNTRL
command after the NSCONTROL STOP and NETCONTROL STOP
commands. Enter the command as:
DTCCNTRL DTC=dtcname;CARD=cardnumber;FUNC=function
where function is one of the following:
- STARTX25
to start X.25 services;
- STARTPADSUP
to start PAD support services;
- STARTBOTH
to start both X.25 and PAD support services.
