Shutdown Tool Options

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

Launching a scheduler without terminating any existing instances of it can produce unexpected behavior.

Syntax

vkconfig shutdown [options...]

See Common vkconfig Script Options for options that are available in all of the vkconfig tools.

Examples

This example shows how you can terminate all Vertica Kafka schedulers:

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