Shutdown tool options

Use the vkconfig script's shutdown tool to terminate one or all Vertica schedulers running on a host. Always run this command before restarting a scheduler to ensure the scheduler has shutdown correctly.

Syntax

vkconfig shutdown [options...]

See Common vkconfig script options for options that are available in all vkconfig tools.

Examples

To terminate all schedulers running on a host, use the shutdown command with no options:

$ /opt/vertica/packages/kafka/bin/vkconfig shutdown

Use the --conf or --config-schema option to specify a scheduler to shut down. The following command terminates the scheduler that was launched with the same --conf myscheduler.conf option:

$ /opt/vertica/packages/kafka/bin/vkconfig shutdown --conf myscheduler.conf
