The acuserve -kill command causes the acuserve process to be halted (killed). If no server is specified, the acuserve process is halted on the current host; otherwise, the process is halted on the named host.
Unless the -f option is specified, acuserve prompts for confirmation before the halt action is executed, as shown below.

Optional arguments to -kill include:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| server | Specifies the name of the server machine on which to kill the acuserve process. If no server is specified, the server is assumed to be the local host. |
| -f | Causes the acuserve process to terminate immediately, without prompting for confirmation. -f should be used when acuserve -kill is included in a program or script. |
| -n | Identifies a particular instance of the acuserve program by port number. The -n must be followed by a space and then an integer, for example, 6524. If no port number is specified, the default port is terminated. |
