Stopping the NSS server

Stop the NSS server from MVS™ by issuing the following command:

STOP procname

If the NSS server was started from a cataloged procedure, the procname value is the member name of that procedure. If the NSS server was started from the z/OS® shell and the environment variable _BPX_JOBNAME was set, the procname value is the same as the _BPX_JOBNAME value. If the NSS server was started from the z/OS shell and _BPX_JOBNAME was not set, the procname value is useridX, where X is the sequence number that is set by the system. To determine the sequence number, from the ISPF LOG window on TSO, issue the following command:

/d omvs,u=userid

This command displays the programs running under the specified user ID. For more information about _BPX_JOBNAME, see z/OS UNIX System Services Planning.

To stop the NSS server from the z/OS shell, issue the kill command (from a superuser ID) to the process ID (PID) that is associated with the NSS server. By default, the NSS server PID is recorded in /etc/nssd.pid. You can change the default location using the NSSD_PIDFILE environment variable.
