Kill all server clients

Requirements: Server

The KillAll command will kill all clients. A message is sent to all clients before the clients are killed. KillAll makes sense only when running on a server (mainly in maintenance processes).

Kill all sends a message to all active clients that the server will shut down within the time defined in the timeout parameter (number of seconds to wait). New clients cannot log-in anymore. A warning is sent to the clients that the client is going to be killed. When clients are terminated abnormally no message can be sent. The result is that the server waits for the client to receive the kill message.

KillAll [W|Wait=timeout;]

Definition: 

timeout - The KillAll command waits "timeout" seconds (default: 300) before killing the clients.For killing dead clients without message one may pass 0 as timeout value.
