STOP terminates a GT.M image. The image executes an orderly rundown of all databases that are currently open, and then exits. A MUPIP STOP performs akill -15 and therefore may also be used to stop non-GT.M images

The format of the STOP command is:

     
     ST[OP] process-id
     

At least one of the qualifiers must appear. If both qualifiers appear, they must refer to the same process or STOP rejects the command.

Use the shell command ps to display a list of active process names and process identifiers (PIDs).

To STOP a process belonging to its own account, a process requires no privileges. To STOP a process belonging to another account, MUPIP STOP must execute as root.
