stop_vs command

The stop_vs command gracefully stops the voice system software.

Synopsis

stop_vs [time_out][-n]

Description

The stop_vs command gracefully stops the voice system software. If the system is receiving calls, stop_vs waits for approximately 3 minutes before it unconditionally stops the software. By waiting, the system allows callers to finish their transactions. The stop_vs command disables incoming call recognition on all cards to prevent them from being reactivated by an incoming call.

The time_out option is the time to wait before the voice system is stopped. The default value for this option is 180 seconds. The -n option prompts you with a message that another maintenance command (restore, remove, attach, detach, diagnose) is being performed. It asks if you wish to continue or to terminate the stop_vs command. The stop_vs command terminates another maintenance command in progress when initiated. The default value for this option isYes.

If you use stop_vs to stop the system, you should use start_vs to reactivate it. If you use stop_vs to stop the software and reboot the system, be sure to execute start_vs after logging in as root (unless the system is administered to automatically start the voice system upon reboot). This ensures that the system is returned to the state it was in before it was booted.

If an active host link is established, the stop_vs command checks the LUs and logs out the application(s). The command waits up to 60 seconds (6 series of 10 seconds each), and continues stopping the voice system.

Example

The following example stops the voice system software:
