Shutting down a process agent (nco_pa_shutdown)

You can run the nco_pa_shutdown utility to shut down a process agent and optionally stop associated services and processes.

To shut down a process agent, enter the following command:

$NCHOME/omnibus/bin/nco_pa_shutdown command_line_options

In this command, command_line_options represents one or more command-line options that you can specify for the nco_pa_shutdown utility.

Command-line options for nco_pa_shutdown

Command-line options for the nco_pa_shutdown utility are described in the following table.

Table 1. Command-line options for nco_pa_shutdown
Command-line option Description
-help Displays help about the command-line options and exits.
-nosecure Connects to process agents in a non-secure mode that does not encrypt login information during transmission.
-option string Specifies how the shutdown is completed. Can be STOP to shut down all processes that the process agent manages locally, or LEAVE to leave the locally-managed processes running after the shutdown. If -option is not specified on the command line, the utility displays a menu with the shutdown options and prompts you for the type of shutdown to perform.
Tip: To stop a remotely-managed process, you must run the nco_pa_stop utility.
-password string The password to use for the process agent.
-server string Name of process agent to shut down.
-user string The user name for the process agent. The default is the user running the command.
-version Displays software version information and exits.
Tip: If you are running a process agent as a Windows service, and you stop the service, managed processes are also stopped. This means that all managed processes are stopped in a controlled way when the system is shut down.
