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.
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.
