Command syntax

The application shutdown utility is started by running the install_directory\shared\v300\pfs\Base\shutdownutil\cmd\app_shutdown command file (use .bat for the Windows operating system and .sh for AIX® and Linux®). Several parameters can be specified on the command line. Specifying a parameter on the command line overrides any corresponding value in the configuration file.

The syntax of the command, with its parameters, is:

app_shutdown -configFile configFile
             [ -generateList generatedConfigFilename | -shutdown [serverName]]
             [-dbConnectId userId]
             [-dbConnectPwd password]
             [-help]
