Stopping the reboot of a client on an ATM network

Follow this procedure for stopping the reboot of a client on an ATM network.

If errors are detected during the NIM bos_inst operation and the client machine has not rebooted, it is possible to stop the machine from rebooting, and then execute the sequence of commands in the above step 4 on the running system. To stop the reboot, use the following procedure:

  1. List the at jobs on the machine by entering the command: at -1
    The first field in the output is the name of the job. For example:
    $ at -1 
    root.884205595.a Wed Jan   7 14:39:55 1998
  2. To remove the at job, enter the following command: at -r name of job
    For example:
    $ at -r root.884205595.a
    at file:  root.884205595.a deleted
Note: The reboot can also be prevented by removing the shutdown script that the at job was instructed to run by typing:
rm/tmp/_NIM_shutdown
