The RPMKILL intrinsic terminates
a process that was created by RPMCREATE.
It also deletes the remote environment if that environment was established
by RPMCREATE. Any process on any
node may call RPMKILL to kill a
remote RPM process, as long as it has the correct program descriptor.
To kill a process on your local node that utilizes another session,
you must have configured the network for software loopback. To kill
a local process in your session, you must be the creator of that
process.
The only required parameter is pd
(option variable).
The location and loclen
parameters are also required in order to kill a remote process either
if the remote process is independent or if the calling process is
not the creator. RPM needs these to open a new connection to the
remote node before killing the remote process.
Use the RPMKILL intrinsic
only to terminate perpetually running remote processes. Otherwise,
use the "Shutting Down Sockets and Connections"
procedure described in the NetIPC 3000/XL Programmer's
Reference Manual.
