• ionexit - A program that shuts down ION with the option to preserve the SDR.

Normally, when ION's various daemons were stopped down by calling ionstop, issuing the command '.' to the administration programs, the SDR will be modified/destroyed in the process. Calling ionexit with an argument 'keep' allows the SDR state just prior to the execution of ionexit to be preserved in the non-volatile storage such as a file if ION was configured to use a file for the SDR.
