stop

Stops HCL Workload Automation production processes. To stop the netman process, use the shutdown command. You must have stop access to the workstation.

Syntax

stop [domain!][folder/]workstation
     [;wait]
     [;noask]

Arguments

domain

Specifies the name of the domain in which workstations are stopped. Because workstations have unique names, the domain is not needed when stopping a specific workstation. Wildcard characters are permitted.

This argument is useful when stopping more than one workstation in a domain. For example, to stop all the agents in domain stlouis, use the following command:

stop stlouis!@

If domain is omitted, and workstation contains wildcard characters, the default domain is the one in which conman is running.

[folder/]workstation

Specifies the name of the workstation to be stopped. Wildcard characters are permitted.

This command is not supported on remote engine workstations.

wait

Specifies not to accept another command until all processes have stopped.

noask

Specifies not to prompt for confirmation before taking action on each qualifying workstation.

Comments

If the stop command cannot be applied to a distant workstation (for example, if the TCP/IP path is not available), the command is stored locally in a pobox file, and is sent to the workstation when it becomes linked.

When you issue a stop @ command on a domain manager, a local conman stop command runs on the remote CPUs. The command starts running on the lowest stations in the network hierarchy, then finally runs on the domain manager. However, the Symphony file is not updated before the CPUs go down. Therefore, if you issue a conman sc@!@ command from any CPU, the resulting information might be an up to date picture of the states of the CPUs, even of the domain manager.
