Name
       rpc_allow_remote_shutdown - allow or disallow remote shutdown of a server (server only)

Syntax
       #include <idl/c/rpc.h>

       void rpc_$allow_remote_shutdown(allow, checkproc, status)
       unsigned long allow;
       rpc_$shut_check_fn_t checkproc;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       allow		   A value indicating `false' if zero, `true' otherwise.

       checkproc	   A pointer to a Boolean function.

       status		   The completion status.  If the completion status returned in is equal to status_$ok , then the routine that supplied it
			   was successful.

Description
       The routine allows or disallows remote callers to shut down a server using

       By default, servers do not allow remote shutdown via If a server calls with allow true (not zero) and checkproc nil, then  remote  shutdown
       will be allowed.  If allow is true and checkproc is not nil, then when a remote shutdown request arrives, the function denoted by checkproc
       is called and the shutdown is allowed if the function returns true.  If allow is false (zero), remote shutdown is disallowed.

Diagnostics
       This section lists status codes for errors returned by this routine in

       rpc_$not_in_call    An internal error.

       rpc_$you_crashed    This error can occur if a server has crashed and restarted.	A client RPC runtime library sends the error to the server
			   if  the  client  makes  a  remote  procedure  call before the server crashes, then receives a response after the server
			   restarts.

       rpc_$proto_error    An internal protocol error.

rrpc_shutdown(3ncs)													       rrpc_shutdown(3ncs)

Name
       rrpc_shutdown - shut down a server

Syntax
       #include <idl/c/rrpc.h>

       void rrpc_$shutdown(handle, status)
       handle_t handle;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       handle A remote procedure call (RPC) handle.

       status The completion status.  If the completion status returned in is equal to status_$ok , then the routine that supplied it was success-
	      ful.

Description
       The routine shuts down a server, if the server allows it.  A server can use the routine to allow or disallow remote shutdown.

Diagnostics
       This section lists status codes for errors returned by this routine in

       rrpc_$shutdown_not_allowd
	      You send an request to a server that has not issued an call.

Restrictions
       On the client side, because of the way the calls are defined and implemented in the run-time library you  must  explicitly  call  into  the
       entry  point  vector  table  for  the  interface to send an request across the network. The following is an example of a call that works as
       desired:
       (*rrpc_$client_epv.rrpc_$shutdown)(handle, &status);

       The server side stub routine calls the entry point on behalf of the client.  The results of the call are then passed back to the client.

       Before making the shutdown call, the server must have previously executed the following call:
       rpc_$allow_remote_shutdown((unsigned long) TRUE,NULL,&status);

       If the server has not allowed remote shutdown, the call returns an status code.
