LATCP STOP NODE — VMS 5.1-B

 Shuts down the LAT port driver and terminates all active sessions for
 all links or for a specified Ethernet link(s) on your node.

 Use the following recommended procedures to stop the LAT port  driver
 with STOP NODE:

 1.  Since active connections are disconnected  without  warning,  use
     the  DCL  REPLY  command to issue warnings to LAT users that they
     should log off the service node.  Do this before issuing the STOP
     command.

     If the node is to be down for a long period, then tell  the  user
     when the node will be back up.

 2.  In response to the LCP> prompt, issue the LATCP command SET  NODE
     node-name    /IDENTIFICATION="identification-string".    In   the
     identification string, announce the reason for  the  shutdown  to
     the LAT server(s).

 3.  Issue the LATCP STOP NODE command.


 The STOP NODE command stops the LAT port driver on all links  if  you
 do not specify a link or only on one particular link that you specify
 by using the /LINK qualifier.  STOP NODE  clears  your  service  node
 characteristics.   If  you  want your service node characteristics to
 have the characteristics that were in effect before you  stopped  the
 driver,  do  not  use the START NODE command after issuing STOP NODE.
 Instead,  invoke  the   SYS$MANAGER:LTLOAD.COM   command   procedure.
 Alternatively, you can set up your node characteristics manually with
 the SET NODE and SET SERVICE commands.

 Format:

    STOP NODE

Additional information available:

/LINK/LOG

/LINK

 /LINK=link-list

 Use this qualifier when you want to stop one or more links but do not
 want  to  stop  the  LAT  port  driver.   To specify a list of links,
 enclose the list in parenthesis, and separate  the  link  names  with
 commas.   If  you  use  STOP  NODE  and do not specify any links, all
 defined links are stopped when the LAT port driver is stopped.

/LOG

 /LOG   (D)
 /NOLOG

 Specifies whether your service node outputs  a  confirmation  message
 when it has completed executing this command.
