Stopping the PATROL process

When you stop the PATROL Agent, it performs the following processes:

• Writes the process cache
• Writes the history cache
• Waits for child processes to terminate, which may take more time to terminate
• Closes network connections
• Stops all other related processes

If you quit the PATROL Agent from an OS shutdown script, you must introduce sleep logic to ensure that the Agent completely stops prior to the OS shutdown because the Agent waits for child processes to end.
