> ### DB_AbnormalShutdown

> #### Message

> "Abnormal shutdown has occurred for database x."

> #### Description

> Sent when the DB_agent detects the death of the database broker.

> #### Type

> Asynchronous

> #### Action

> Check the database log file for additional information regarding the abnormal shutdown.

> #### Note

> An abnormal shutdown occurs when the database crashes or shutdown is performed with Proshut instead of Dbman. (The `Dbman` command is initiated through the AdminServer, enabling the AdminServer to be aware of the shutdown activity. The `Proshut` command communicates directly with the database server, causing the AdminServer to assume that the database has abnormally shutdown.)
