Stop instance in non-iteractive way
My steps are as follows:
1. Switch to the system user using psTool
2. Start instance in emergency way
3. Journal restore
4. Stop instance
A dialog box appears：

The parameter “quielty” seems to have no effect in the windows environment
Is there any non-interactive way to close the instance?
it should be "quietly" not "quielty", so, that's why this may not work for you
It looks like a good request for WRC, why non-interactive mode does not work in emergency mode. And maybe they can offer a workaround.
Hello,
I'm able to reproduce the behavior with emergency mode requiring you to enter the emergency mode user/pass to shut down. You are certainly welcome to reach out to the WRC to confirm if this is intended behavior, but I suspect that it is. I am wondering what the use case is here as emergency access mode is a special mode, intended for use "under certain dire circumstances, such as if there is severe damage to security configuration information or if no users with the %Admin_Manage:Use or %Admin_Security:Use privileges are available". In those situations you would be taking manual steps so uninteractive shut down would not be necessary.
Could you simply use a normal login and not emergency mode?
That behavior is intended, as only the emergency user is able to start and stop the instance in emergency mode. The prompt for the EmergencyId and password confirms this.
Since the original poster mentions journal restore, I too wonder about the use case. If this is related to an emergency situation, reaching out to the WRC may be appropriate.

I am doing work related to backup and restore, to avoid unexpected problems with other user operations during restore, so I started in emergency mode
... is usually easier to disable users sign-on by setting switch 12, or restrict their activity by some other appropriate switches combination (see Using Switches).
Can setting switch meet the demand?
It depends.
Switch 10 which inhibits all global/routine access except by the process that sets this switch should meet, while setting it can interfere with your _own_ activity.
Switch 12 which disables logins can be insufficient for disabling web access, which is easier to restrict by stopping web server.
I didn't personally experiment with those switches as we have no such problem because our application utilizes its own "disable logins" flag by locking the variable.
There are many tools available for backup-and-restore. InterSystems publishes some helpful information in the Caché Data Integrity Guide (https://cedocs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GCDI_backup).
If you are a supported customer, your sales engineer can be a good resource, and the WRC is always available to help you solve problems.
