ctquiet
The ctquiet utility allows an administrator to quiet the server from a script. An interactive option is available in the ctadmn utility.
Usage:
ctquiet [-s server][-f][-u] -p password
Where
server is the c-tree server name, e.g. ‘FAIRCOMS’
-f Full consistency - files are flushed to disk from cache.
-u Unquiet server
password is the admin password, e.g. ‘ADMIN’
Note - When you quiesce the server, as long as the connection that quiesced the server remains connected, all other connections are blocked. Only if that connection goes away c-tree allows the ADMIN user to logon again and undo the quiesce.
Examples
quiet the server
ctquiet -p ADMIN
wake the server
ctquiet -u -p ADMIN
