[Pacemaker] How to perform a clean shutdown of Pacemaker in the event of network connection loss

[Tan Tai hock]

Ops sorry for providing the wrong version number. I am using Corosync
2.3.0-1 and Pacemaker 1.1.9-8. What should be done to clear the resources
properly that are still running in the event that pacemaker isn't running?
