Stopping DCE Processes Running on a Host
Like the host start operation discussed in the previous topic, the host stop operation is more encompassing than a server stop operation. It lets you stop all DCE processes on a host with a single command rather than issue a separate server stop operation for each server. This operation stops application servers, then DCE processes, and finally when stopping DCE processes on the local machine, stops dced. You can read more about controlling servers in the topic entitled DCE Application Administration .
To operate on a remote host, its DCE daemon must be running. Remote host stop operations also require at least one CDS server and one security server to be running in the cell. The host stop operation operates on DCE servers and clients and on application servers that have been configured by using the server object.
The following example stops all DCE processes and application servers on host bigbox:
dcecp> host stop /.:/hosts/bigbox
dcecp>
