MobiLink stop utility

Stops the MobiLink synchronization server on the local machine.

Syntax

dbmlstop [ options ] [ server-name ]

Option	Description
@data	Reads options from the specified environment variable or configuration file.
-f	Forced shutdown. Use if a hard shutdown does not work.
-h	Hard shutdown. MobiLink stops all synchronizations and exits. Some remotes may report an error.
-q	Quiet mode. Suppresses the banner.
-t time	Soft shutdown, with a hard shutdown done after the specified time. time is a number followed by D, H, M, or S (for days, hours, minutes and seconds). For example, `-t 10m` specifies that the server should be shut down in 10 minutes or when current synchronizations complete, whichever is sooner. D, H, M, and S are not case sensitive.
-w	Waits for the MobiLink synchronization server to shut down before returning from the command.

Parameters

@data Use this option to read in options from the specified environment variable or configuration file. If both exist with the same name, the environment variable is used.

For more information about configuration files, see Using configuration files.

If you want to protect passwords or other information in the configuration file, you can use the File Hiding utility to obfuscate the contents of the configuration file.

See Hiding the contents of files using the dbfhide command-line utility.

Server-name If the MobiLink synchronization server is started using the -zs option, it must be shut down by specifying the same server name.

For more information, see -zs option.

Description

By default (if none of -f, -h or -t are specified), dbmlstop does a soft shutdown.

Soft shutdown means that the MobiLink synchronization server stops accepting new connections and exits when the current synchronizations are complete.
Hard shutdown means that the MobiLink synchronization server stops all synchronizations and exits. Some remotes may report an error.
