Stop a CSE on UNIX

Follow these steps:

Ensure that all users are logged off.
Important! Do not shut down the Message Dispatcher when a client is requesting access or a server process is active.
Run the monitor report to verify that all users are logged off the clients.
Note: For more information about the monitor report, see Client Server Encyclopedia Administration Guide.

When the clients are logged on, use the TCP/IP netstat command to display active clients.
To stop the Message Dispatcher, shut down all servers, and close open sockets, use this command:
```
./stopmd
```
To list server processes that failed to stop, use this command:
```
ps -u <cseadmin>
```
where <cseadmin> is the CSE administrator account under which this instance of CSE is running.
To terminate server processes still running, use this command:
```
kill <process_id> .
```
