NAME
cifs terminate - terminate CIFS service
SYNOPSIS
cifs terminate [ - t
minutes
] [
workstation
]
DESCRIPTION
The cifs terminate command is used to terminate CIFS service. If the workstation
operand is specified, then all CIFS sessions open by that workstation will be termi-
nated. If no
workstation
operand is specified, then all CIFS sessions will be
terminated and CIFS service will be shut down completely. To restart CIFS service
after it has been shut down, use the cifs restart command (see cifs_restart ).
If CIFS service is terminated for a workstation that has a file open, then that
workstation will not be able to save any changes that it may have cached for that
file, which could result in the loss of data. Therefore, it is
very
important to warn
users before terminating CIFS service. The - t option, described below, can be
used to warn users before terminating CIFS service.
If you run cifs terminate without the - t option and the affected workstations have
open files, then you’ll be prompted to enter the number of minutes that you’d like
to delay before terminating. If you execute cifs terminate from rsh you will be
required to supply the - t option since commands executed with rsh are unable to
prompt for user input.
OPTIONS
-t
minutes
Specifies the number of minutes to delay before terminating CIFS
service. During the delay the system will periodically send notices
of the impending shutdown to the affected workstations. (Note:
workstations running Windows95/98 or Windows for Workgroups
won’t see the notification unless they’re running WinPopup .) If the
specified number of minutes is zero, then CIFS service will be ter-
minated immediately.
