All sessions are stopped at once

Some session can start at once by batch files on ACS.
But all session are not ended at once.


Use Case:

iAW can handle batch session to start and stop at once. But ACS can only start batch session.
ACS can't stop batch session.

We want to stop all sessions at once.

    From a 5250 session, File->Exit All will end all sessions. Is that sufficient or are you asking for a way to do this from the command line?

    I open several sessions and end them using the menu option File, Exit All. I believe I set up a macro to execute this in the past, but recently got a new PC so I don't have it set up. I find that Alt+F,L is pretty easy to end everything.

    And yes, Vern, closing the window would end all sessions in that window. However, you're only ending the emulation. Under certain circumstances, we've had the virtual display device stay active when the client emulation is closed--I haven't seen it for a while with ACS, so it may not be an issue anymore.

    When I start a batch session, I have multiple sessions in a single window.

    Would closing that window cause all sessions to end?
