Do an immediate shutdown of the server

Applies to User Roles:

System Administrator

You must have the SysAdmin capability word to use this procedure.

Note: This procedure stops the server without displaying any warnings to currently connected users. If you want to broadcast a warning message before stopping the server, use the broadcast form (system.status.broadcast) before you shut down the server.

To do an immediate shutdown of the server:

  1. Click System Administration > Ongoing Maintenance > System > Shutdown.
    The System Shutdown Confirmation form opens.
  2. Click Shutdown Now.
  3. Click Confirm.
    The Service Manager server stops disconnecting all currently connected clients and refusing any further client connections until the server has been restarted.

    Note:  Service Manager also disconnects the client you used to shut down the server.
