[comp.sys.dec] Wollongong WIN/TCP Problem: No automated procedure to stop the process

tran@versatc.UUCP (Tony Tran) (08/03/88)

Under Wollongong Win/TCP V3.0 or 3.2, there is no command procedure or program
to stop the Wollongong software. According to katie@twg.com (Wollongong Tech
Support), you have to do something like:

	1. ifconfig ep0 down
	2. Do a "show system", and issue the command: "stop/id=xxx" where xxx
	   are the process id of enet <-> inet and INET_SERVERS processes
	3. Kill any ftp users processes

Has anybody developed any command procedure that automatically stops the Wollongong
software, something like stopinet.com ?

I have defined a symbol that orderly shuts down the VAX, but can't seem to
incorporate the above features, and as a result, doesnot *cleanly* shutdown
the VAX (when I forget to do the 3 items above manually).

In the year or two I've been running WIN/TCP, I've never had to do anything
special to shutdown WIN/TCP when shutting down the VAX.  I've used
WIN/TCP v2.3 thru v3.2 and several versions of VMS.  Just do whatever
you need to do and run SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN.COM.  If you want to be
somewhat orderly, ifconfig ep0 down.  After all, you're going to shut
the system down, so who cares if enet <-> inet and INET_SERVERS is
still running?  You can can always write a DCL command script or
program to find enet <-> inet and INET_SERVERS and kill them off,
but it sounds like a waste of programmer time to me.
