Shutting down the Client daemon immediately

To shut down the Client daemon for all connected servers, without completing outstanding units of work, enter:
        cicscli -i
To shut down the session with a particular server, enter:
        cicscli -i=servername

where servername is the name of a CICS® server. This stops only the session with the named server; it does not shut down the Client daemon or connections to other servers.

If the Client daemon does not shut down completely, this might be because the Client daemon process, cclclnt, remains active. To stop this process, enter the command
kill -2 pid
where pid is the numeric process id of cclclnt.

Do not use the kill -9 command as this stops a process without allowing its resources to be released; those resources remain active until you restart the system.
