Stops the DECdns clerk on the specified node.

 SYNOPSIS

      DISABLE [NODE node-id] DNS CLERK

 Argument

 node-id

 The name of the node. If you do not specify a node name, the local
 node is assumed.

 Description

 This command stops the DECdns clerk on the specified node, causing
 all active communication with any DECdns server to be aborted and
 all client calls in progress to fail with an error. You can also
 enter this command through the NCL interface. The clerk cache is
 copied to disk. When this procedure has completed, the clerk's State
 attribute is set to off.

                                 NOTE

    If you are disabling a clerk on a node where a server is
    running, make sure you disable the server first.

 PRIVILEGES REQUIRED
 You must have the NET$MANAGE rights identifier (VMS systems) or
 superuser privileges (ULTRIX systems).
