       ns_shutdown ?nseconds?

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  shuts  down  the  server.   If  nseconds  is  not specified a default value
       (normally 20) is used; if it is specified, it should be an integer >= 0.  The server  will
       wait  for  up  to the specified (or default) number of seconds for existing connections to
       finish processing.   If  this  time  limit  is  exceeded  then  existing  connections  are
       immediately stopped.
