On OpenVMS, to shutdown servers on certain nodes, use the /NODE
qualifier. To
shutdown servers on the entire cluster, use the /CLUSTER qualifier.
On OpenVMS and UNIX, you may shut down individual servers. To shut down a server, issue the OpenVMS command
$ PMDF SHUTDOWN serveror the UNIX command
# pmdf shutdown serverwith
pop3 (to shut down both legacy mailbox and PMDF
MessageStore mailbox POP servers), pop_server (to shut
down only the PMDF MessageStore mailbox POP server), imap
(to shut down both legacty mailbox and PMDF MessageStore mailbox IMAP
servers), or imap_server (to shut down only the PMDF
MessageStore mailbox IMAP server), as appropriate, as the
server parameter. This will cause such servers on
your node to exit after the currently open connections are closed.
On NT, to shut down a server you must shut down the Dispatcher itself, e.g.,
C:\> pmdf shutdown dispatcheror edit the Dispatcher configuration file to remove the service definition in question and then restart the Dispatcher.
On OpenVMS, to shutdown servers on certain nodes, use the /NODE
qualifier. To
shutdown servers on the entire cluster, use the /CLUSTER qualifier.
Shutting down the Service Dispatcher itself with the OpenVMS command
$ PMDF SHUTDOWN DISPATCHERor the UNIX command
# pmdf shutdown dispatcheror the NT command
C:\> pmdf shutdown dispatcherwill also cause the POP3 and IMAP servers to shut down, as well as shutting down any other services handled by the Service Dispatcher; see Chapter 11 for details.
