Force Shutting Down an AppNode

Use the argument, -timeout xx (in minutes) from the command line to forcefully shut down an AppNode, after the timeout is reached. The default timeout value is zero (0) and the AppNode stops only after the completion of all the jobs. From the Admin UI, select the Force shutdown after wait time checkbox. If the checkbox is not selected the AppNode stops after the default timeout. From the Admin UI, you can forcefully shut down AppNodes from the AppSpace level, the Application level, and from the Agent and Machine level.

When the timeout is specified, the AppNode is shut down after the timeout is reached. If the jobs are completed before the timeout value is reached, the AppNode stops on its own, and does not wait for the timeout period that has been specified. If the jobs are not completed in the timeout period, the AppNode is shut down irrespective of the state of the running jobs.

Note: Multiple force kill commands can be triggered one after the other, and the most recent force shut down command takes precedence over the previous commands.
