You can terminate a SAS process using several methods. A SAS
server is a specific type of SAS process.
Note: Before
you terminate SAS using one of the following methods, you should try
to end the process using one of the methods described in
Ending Your SAS Session
or in the documentation for the SAS server.
If the SAS process was
instantiated as a Windows service, then you can terminate the process
using one of the following methods:
-
-
net stop <service
name> where service
name is the name of the Windows service.
-
sc <server>
stop <service name> where server is
in the form “\\ServerName” and service
name is the name of the Windows service.
-
in the Microsoft Management Console
Services snap-in, select the service that you want to terminate and
select Stop.
To terminate a SAS process,
use one of the following methods:
-
At a command prompt submit
taskkill/pid <process ID>
where
process
ID is the SAS
process ID. You can get this process ID from the output of the
tasklist command.
-
in the Windows Task Manager, select
the process and click End Process.
CAUTION:
Using the
taskkill command or the Windows Task Manager to terminate a SAS process
might result in data loss or data corruption.
