JANUS FORCE

<section begin="desc" />FORCE<section end="desc" />

This immediately terminates all client connections to the named port(s) and prevents further connections from being established.

Syntax

<section begin="syntax" /> JANUS FORCE portname <section end="syntax" />

JANUS FORCE command syntax

Where portname is the name of the port(s) from which client connections are to be disconnected. Once a port is FORCE'd, no clients may connect to it again until it is restarted via the JANUS START command.

The FORCE subcommand returns after a very brief delay; the actual termination of connections may take some additional time, but once the FORCE subcommand returns, no other application-level communication will take place over the FORCEd port(s).

JANUS FORCE SMITHERS

In the above example, all client connections to port SMITHERS are immediately broken, and further connections to SMITHERS are prevented.
