Stopping Links and Services
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.
To 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.
To Stop a Single Network Service.
To stop a specific Network Service or group of Network Services while the
remaining active services remain active, enter the NSCONTROL STOP command
followed by an equal sign and a list of the services you wish to stop.
For example, to stop Remote File Access for both local and remote users,
enter the following command:
NSCONTROL STOP=RFA,RFAL
To Stop All Network Services.
To stop all Network Services enter the following command:
NSCONTROL STOP
Current active processes that are using the services will be allowed to
complete before the services are terminated.
To Abort Network Services.
To terminate all Network Services regardless of whether or not currently
active processes are using the services, enter the following command:
NSCONTROL ABORT
To Stop Network Interfaces
To Stop a Single Network Interface.
Issue the following command to stop a single network interface:
NETCONTROL STOP;NET=NIname
The NIname is the network interface name that you configured through
NMMGR. Stop other interfaces as required by entering the command using
the appropriate NI names.
To Stop All Network Interfaces.
When you enter the stop command with no keywords, all entities of the
network transport are terminated. (You must terminate the Network
Services before stopping the network transport. You will also need to
use the DTCCNTRL command if you have an active host-based X.25
interface.) Enter the following command:
NETCONTROL STOP
To Stop a Host-Based X.25 Interface.
If the interface you are stopping is a host-based X.25 interface, you
must also issue a DTCCNTRL STOP command after you stop the network
transport. Enter the commands as shown below:
NSCONTROL STOP
NSCONTROL ABORT
NETCONTROL STOP
DTCCNTRL DTC=dtcname;CARD=cardnumber;FUNC=function
where function is one of the following:
STOPX25 to stop X.25 services;
STOPPADSUP to stop PAD support services;
STOPBOTH to stop both X.25 and PAD support services.
