The end command terminates a process
on another port, or the current port if a port number is not specified.
Syntax
end {port.number user-ID}
Description
The end command
stops processing at the previous level and returns to the preceding
level TCL prompt. However, if there is an active list at the current
level, then list is cleared, and control is not returned to the previous
level. The end command can also be used to stop
a TCL command that was sent to another line by the tcl command, or to terminate a phantom job.
The end command clears an active list and requires a sys2 privilege level.
Note: If the port number and user-ID are not specified, the end command stops the process on the current line.
Warning: This can have a two-fold affect under certain
circumstances. For instance, if a process is in effect at the first
level, and the operator pushes a level, performs a select or some other list-producing command, then decides to abandon
the list, the end command abandons the list and
ends the process at level one. The way around this is by pressing
ENTER at the second level prompt character, which automatically
releases the active list and returns to the previous level. Using
the end command on another port should be used
by a system administrator only when the status of the PIB and potential
problems that could arise have been assessed. The end command can generate file inconsistency errors in some rare instances.
Example(s)
Ends the process at the current
level.
end
Stops the process executing on line 16, under the user-ID,
dm.
end 16 dm
This kills an active list.
