Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Stop the server from the UNIX command line
Applies to User roles: System Administrator
You must have administrative access to the server operating system to use this procedure.
To stop the server from the UNIX command line:
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 one of the shutdown options available from the Service Manager clients.
- Change directories to your Service Manager Run directory. For example:
cd /MicroFocus/Service Manager x.xx/Run - Type one of the following commands:
Command Description sm
-shutdownImmediately stops the Service Manager server and all related processes. sm
-shutdown
-groupUsed in a horizontally-scaled environment. Immediately stops the Service Manager server and all related processes, including Service Manager processes on remote hosts in the same group. smstop The script attempts to do a normal shutdown of the Service Manager system and, if successful, stops any remaining Service Manager processes and cleans up IPC resources. Note: The
scdb.systemrecord in theinfotable acts as a Service Manager database lock, preventing multiple Service Manager groups from connecting to the same database. This record will only be removed during normal shutdown and when there are no more Service Manager processes connecting to that database. In a vertically-scaled environment, normal shutdown duringsm -shutdown,smstop, orsmstop -fremoves this record. In a horizontally-scaled environment, only a normal shutdown (sm -shutdown -group) shuts down the whole group.smstop -d The script runs the shutdown script in debug mode. The system produces verbose output messages in debug mode. smstop -f The script forces a shutdown of the Service Manager system if the normal shutdown process fails. By default, the script will wait for up to ten minutes for the normal shutdown process to complete. To change the wait time, you can set the SMSTOP_WAIT environment variable with the number of seconds you want the script to wait for the completion of the normal shutdown process (the default value is 600 seconds). For example, to change the wait time to 15 minutes, you can use the following command: SMSTOP_WAIT=900 smstop -f
smstop -F The script immediately forces a shutdown of the Service Manager system, bypassing the normal shutdown process.
Caution: Forcing a system shutdown can result in file corruption if there is file regeneration in progress at the time of the shutdown. We recommend using the Service Manager status and system.monitor functions to determine if there are any active processes running prior to forcing a system shutdown.
smstop -h Displays help information for the smstop script. smstop -q Runs the shutdown script in quiet mode. The system does not produce output messages in quiet mode. - Press ENTER.
