There are two ways that you can start or stop CF from the GUI. The first is to simply right-click on a particular node in the tree in the left-hand panel. A state sensitive pop-up menu for that node will appear. If CF on the selected node is in a state where it can be started (or stopped), then the menu choice Start CF (or Stop CF) will be offered.
The following screen shows the content-sensitive menu pop-up when you select Start CF.
Figure 4.11 Starting CF
You can also go to the Tools pull-down menu and select either Start CF or Stop CF.
Figure 4.12 Starting and stopping CF from the Tools menu
A pop-up listing all the nodes where CF may be started or stopped will appear (see below.).
You can then select the desired node to carry out the appropriate action.
Figure 4.13 Stopping CF and shutting down all the nodes
The CF GUI gets its list of CF nodes from the node you selected as the initial connection node that is shown in "Figure 4.3 Initial connection choice window". If CF is not up and running on the initial connection node, then the CF GUI will not display the list of nodes in the tree in the left panel.
Because of this, if you do not choose the all nodes option, and you want to stop CF on multiple nodes (including the initial node) by means of the GUI, ensure that the initial connection node is the last one on which you stop CF.
