SCSI_STOP(8) SG3_UTILS SCSI_STOP(8)
NAME
scsi_stop - stop (spin down) one or more SCSI disks
SYNOPSIS
scsi_stop [--help] [--verbose] [--wait] DEVICE [DEVICE]*
DESCRIPTION
This Bourne shell script calls the sg_start utility on each given DEVICE. The purpose is to spin down (stop) each given DEVICE.
OPTIONS
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
-h, --help
print out the usage message then exit.
-v, --verbose
increase level or verbosity.
-w, --wait
wait for the spin down (stop) on each given DEVICE to complete. The default action is to do each stop in immediate mode.
NOTES
The sg_start utility calls the SCSI START STOP UNIT command and can either start (spin up) or stop (spin down) a SCSI disk depending on the
given command line options.
EXIT STATUS
The exit status of this script is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise the exit status is that of the last sg_start utility called. See the
sg3_utils(8) man page.
