NAME

offline − take a processor offline

SYNOPSIS

offline [-v] [processor-id . . . ]

DESCRIPTION

offline takes each processor that is specified on the command line offline.  If no processors are specified, all processors in the system are taken offline.  In either case, some processors may not be taken offline because of hardware restrictions.  Processors that have bound processes or pending internal kernel timeouts can not be taken offline.  At least one processor that does not have a process-set bound to it (for example, by pexbind) must remain online at all times.  If the -v flag is specified, the status of the processor is displayed before and after the attempt to take it offline.
