dbstop options

@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 Chapter 4, “Connection and Communication Parameters” in the System Administration Guide: Volume 1.

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.
