Stopping the TADDM server

You can manually stop the TADDM server and related discovery processes.

To manually stop the TADDM server, complete the following steps:

Log in as the non-root user that was defined during the installation process.
Open a command prompt window.
Go to the directory where you installed the TADDM server.
Use one of the following commands to run the stop script:
- For Linux®, AIX®, and Linux on System z® operating systems:
```
$COLLATION_HOME/bin/control stop
```
- For Windows operating systems:
```
%COLLATION_HOME%\bin\stopServer.bat
```
If you installed the TADDM server with root privileges, you can manually stop the TADDM server by running the following script:
```
/etc/init.d/collation stop
```

Some sensors run in their own special Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM). When running a discovery, if you use the control script (./control stop) to stop TADDM, you might need to manually stop these additional JVMs, which are called local anchors. If you do not stop the local anchors, unexpected behavior can result. For example, there might be degraded performance of certain discoveries.

To verify that the process for the local anchor is no longer running, enter the following command:

% ps -ef |grep -i anchor

This command identifies any local anchor processes that are running. The output looks like the following code example:

 coll   23751  0.0  0.0  6136  428 ?   S  Jun02   0:00 /bin/sh 
    local-anchor.sh 8494 <more information here>

If a process is running, stop the process by running the following command:

-  % kill -9 23751

After running the command, verify that the process stopped by running the following command:

 % ps -ef |grep -i anchor
