Forcing a service to terminate

If you need to stop a service immediately, you can use the force-stop command.

1. From the service laptop, log in to the grid node:
   1. Enter the following command: ssh admin@grid_node_IP
   2. Enter the password listed in the Passwords.txt file.
   3. Enter the following command to switch to root: su -
   4. Enter the password listed in the Passwords.txt file.
   When you are logged in as root, the prompt changes from $ to #.
2. Manually force the service to terminate: service servicename force-stop
   For example:

   service ldr force-stop

   The system waits 30 seconds before terminating the service.
3. Log out of the command shell: exit
