System Shutdown

---

Use this form to schedule a controlled shutdown of the Greentree system, either immediately, or within a specified period of time. This is useful if you must shut Greentree down for some maintenance (for example, the application of a package), and need to ensure all users are logged out of Greentree. If your users are spread across physical locations, this is the safest way to ensure a controlled shutdown occurs.

Close all Users/Immediately

If this is selected, users will be (automatically) immediately exited from Greentree, when Do it is clicked. If neither Close all Users nor Close all queue processors are selected, then nothing happens when you click Do it.

If Close all Users is not selected and Close all queue processors is selected, Greentree checks whether or not the processors are started. If they are, it will stop them immediately when Do it is clicked.

Close all Users/After a warning

If this is selected, you can enter a warning period of minutes or seconds. Users will be exited out of Greentree after the warning period has expired (which commences when the Do it button is clicked). A message displays to indicate a shutdown is in process, and notify of the warning period. If neither Close all Users nor Close all queue processors is selected, then nothing happens when you click Do it.

If Close all Users is not selected, and Close all queue processors is selected, Greentree checks whether or not the processors are started. If they are, it will stop them after the warning period.
