Comments

Note

This command disconnects all users from the database without warning and without explanation. Before you use this command, it is recommended that you warn users first.

SHUTDOWN does not prevent users logging on again. If you want to keep all users off the database for a period, use the INHIBIT-LOGONS or lockdbase command before using SHUTDOWN.

Each user logged off by SHUTDOWN will see the message:

reality: logged off by SIGTERM signal (15)

followed by the LOGOFF banner.
