This topic describes the shutdown command in gfsh, the VMware Tanzu GemFire command-line interface.

Use this command to stop all members.

This command asks all the members that have a cache to close the cache and disconnect from the system. If the --include-locators parameter is specified, the command shuts down any running locators one by one. The timeout parameter allows you to specify that the system should be shutdown forcibly after the time has exceeded.

Availability: Online. You must be connected in gfsh to a JMX Manager member to use this command.

Syntax:

shutdown [--time-out=value] [--include-locators=value]

Name Description Default Value
‑‑time-out Time to wait (in seconds) for a graceful shutdown. Should be at least 10 seconds. The default value if not specified is 10. 10
