SHUTDOWN(SVAS)

Shore Programmer's Manual - 2 August 96

NAME

sshutdown \- how to shut down the Shore Value-Added Server

SYNOPSIS

sshutdown

or, if the server has a Tcl shell:

% exit

DESCRIPTION

A Shore Value-Added server that is configured with a Tcl shell can be shut down by typing the command exit (which is synonymous with x, q, quit, and bye) to the shell.

A server that has no shell can be shut down by running the program sshutdown. This program uses options to determine how to find the server. For that purpose, set your environment variable SHORE_RC to point to the configuration file. If you are using all the default values, you do not need to set SHORE_RC. The options used are svas_remote_pmap, and svas_remote_port and svas_host.

An example configuration file that will work for the server, and for the sshutdown program, and for clients is as follows:

shore.?.?.svas_host: localhost
shore.client.sshutdown.svas_remote_pmap: no
shore.client.sshutdown.svas_remote_port: 2998

The values chosen for svas_remote_pmap, and svas_remote_port must match those used for the server that you are trying to shut down.

Only the super-user and the Shore administrator can shut down the server with sshutdown. The Shore administrator, for this purpose, is the user id under which the server is running.
