Using A Mail Message; Using A Shutdown File - Novell GROUPWISE 8 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

49.9.3 Using a Mail Message

The Internet Agent can be stopped by sending a shutdown message to the Internet Agent. In order to
shut down the program with a message, the user sending the message must be defined as an operator
for the Internet Agent. This prevents unauthorized users from shutting down the Internet Agent. For
information about defining a user as an operator, see Section 49.5, "Assigning Operators to Receive
Warning and Error Messages," on page 808.
The message to shut down the Internet Agent must be addressed to the Internet Agent, not a non-
GroupWise domain. The syntax for the To line is:
gwia:shutdown
where gwia is the name of the Internet Agent object.

49.9.4 Using a Shutdown File

The Internet Agent can also be stopped by placing a file named in the
shutdown
directory. When the Internet Agent sees this file, it deletes the file
domain\wpgate\gwia\000.prc
and shuts down.
