Stopping DCE Daemons

The STOP function invokes the /etc/dce_shutdown component script and, if DFS is installed on the machine, the /etc/dfs.clean component script. You can invoke these scripts directly. (The component scripts are described in Customizing the dce_config Processing.) In addition, you can stop any DCE daemon manually using standard commands.

To stop all DCE daemons running on the machine, at the DCE main Menu, type 4 and press <Return>.

The dce_config script attempts to stop all daemons that are running on the machine and displays the following message:

S:****** Attempting to stop all running DCE daemons...

After dce_config stops the daemons, it displays the following message and returns the DCE Main Menu.

S:****** Successfully stopped all running DCE daemons.
