Server shutdown

A system administrator can shutdown a HPE Service Manager server from any client. Shutting down a server differs from manually stopping a server in the following ways:

  • You can schedule a shutdown in advance
  • The server can broadcast warning messages to all connected users before the server stops
  • The server stops all active processes before shutting down

In a production environment, it is generally preferable to shutdown a server rather than to stop it to ensure data integrity and to allow users to log off.
