Stopping OMPROUTE

OMPROUTE can be stopped in several ways:

From MVS™, issue STOP <procname> or MODIFY <procname>,KILL.
If OMPROUTE was started from a cataloged procedure, procname is the member name of that procedure. If OMPROUTE was started from the z/OS® shell, procname is useridX, where X is the sequence number set by the system. To determine the sequence number, from the SDSF LOG window on TSO, issue /D OMVS,U=userid. This will show the programs running under this user ID. The procname can also be set using the environment variable _BPX_JOBNAME and then starting OMPROUTE in the shell background.
From a z/OS shell superuser ID, issue the kill command to the process ID (PID) associated with OMPROUTE. To determine the PID, use one of the following methods:
- From the MVS console, issue D OMVS,U=userid, or issue /D OMVS,U=userid at the SDSF LOG window on TSO (where userid is the user ID that started omproute from the shell).
- Issue the ps -ef command from the z/OS shell.
- Record the PID when you start OMPROUTE.

For information on the environment variable _BPX_JOBNAME, see z/OS UNIX System Services Planning. For information on the D OMVS,U=userid command, see z/OS MVS System Commands.

Tip: When OMPROUTE is taken down, it should be kept down for at least 3 times the largest dead router interval of any IPv4 OSPF interfaces using MD5 authentication. The same applies to routers adjacent to interfaces using MD5 authentication. Do not stop and start OMPROUTE without waiting for this required time interval.
