This table lists the options available for the dbstop utility.
Switch |
Description |
---|---|
@filename |
Read in options from the specified environment variable or configuration file. |
server-name |
Server name of a running server to stop. If you supply a server name, do not supply connection parameters as well. |
-c “keyword=value; ...” |
When stopping a network server, you must supply a connection string with a user ID that has permissions to stop the server. By default, DBA permission is required on the network server, and all users can shut down a personal server; you can use the -gk server command-line option to change the default behavior. For a description of the connection parameters, see System Administration Guide: Volume 1 > Connection and Communication Parameters. If there are active connections, dbstop prompts whether you want to shut down the server. If you specify unconditional=true on the command line, the server shuts down without prompting, even if there are active connections. |
-d |
Does not stop the database server. Instead, only stops the database specified in the connection string. |
-o filename |
Logs output messages to the named file. |
-q |
Quiet mode—does not print messages. |
-x |
Does not stop if there are active connections. Including this option prevents dbstop from prompting for confirmation if there are active connections. |
-y |
Stops without prompting even if there are active connections. |
