stop_iq options

Switch

Description

-cleanup

Removes the orphan SAP Sybase IQ process on Linux.

-stop [ one | all ]

Removes user interaction with stop_iq. Assumes a yes response to all questions.

-user

Performs two functions:
  • If, due to truncation or substitution, stop_iq cannot find the server or agent owned by the current user, the system manager can specify the name and id found in the process table in the -user argument to shut down the server/agent with the stop_iq utility.

  • A user with root privileges can shut down another user’s server or agent without having to log in as that user. The stop_iq utility has no superuser (su) or root powers, so a nonprivileged user cannot shut down a server owned by another user.

-version

Specifies the major version of SAP Sybase IQ that is being used. The default is the current major version (16.0).

-wait

Specify the time to wait for the server to shut down before timeout expires.
