Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
Startup Command and Parameter Reference

> ## Force Access (-F)

> Use Force Access (`-F`) with the `PROSHUT` command to invoke an emergency shutdown of a shared-memory database.

> Operating system and syntax | UNIX Windows | `-F`
> Use with | Maximum value | Minimum value | Single-user default | Multi-user default
> Client Connection | – | – | – | –

> Note: The `PROMON` and `PROUTIL` utilities also use a `-F` parameter; however, the results are not the same. In addition, using `-F` with `PROUTIL` may compromise the integrity of the database. For more information, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration .
