NAME

       dxshutdown - Performs various types of automated system shutdown.

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/X11/dxshutdown

OPTIONS

       The dxshutdown command accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command-line options, which are documented in the OPTIONS section of the X(1X)
       reference page.

DESCRIPTION

       The Shutdown Manager application, dxshutdown, provides the system administrator with a graphical user interface for running  user-specified
       scripts at shutdown time in addition to performing the following types of automated system shutdown: Halt (and restart console mode) Reboot
       Single-user mode shutdown Message-only shutdown

       Dependencies: None.  You do not need to configure anything prior to running Shutdown Manager.

       You must be root to run Shutdown Manager.

       Shutdown Manager also lets the system administrator display one or more warning messages prior to system shutdown. The  dxshutdown  command
       uses the Tru64 UNIX shutdown command as an API, passing command-line arguments as specified by application defaults and user inputs.

       The  Shutdown  Manager also provides the following features, which the shutdown command does not provide: Selection of a preshutdown script
       to be executed prior to system shutdown Easy cancellation for a shutdown while the timed countdown is in progress Maintenance of an  error-
       and-script output log under /var/adm/sysman/dxshutdown.log Saving and restoring user-selected shutdown options over multiple invocations of
       the Shutdown Manager application

       For additional information about the graphical user interface, see the online help volume, which is available from the Help button  in  the
       main window of the Shutdown Manager application.

       To  start  dxshutdown from the graphical user interface: Click on the Application Manager icon on the CDE front panel.  Double click on the
       System_Admin application group icon.  Double click on the Daily Admin application group icon.  Double click on the Shutdown Manager  appli-
       cation icon.

EXAMPLES

       To  start  Shutdown  Manager from the command line, enter: dxshutdown To open the Shutdown Manager help volume from the command line, enter
       the following command: /usr/dt/bin/dthelpview -h  /usr/dt/appconfig/help/C/DXshutdown.sdl

NAME

       shutdown - graciously close the system down

SYNOPSIS

       shutdown [-hrRmk] [-x code] [time-specification [message]]

DESCRIPTION

       Shutdown  is a program which allows a system operator to close down the system in an nice way.  Shutdown informs the users why and when the
       system is going down.  This warning is issued 10 minutes before shutdown time and every minute in the last 5 minutes.  At this time (5 min-
       utes), shutdown creates a file /etc/nologin to prevent new users from logging in.

       Shutdown keeps a logfile of shutdowns.  Every shutdown is registered in /usr/adm/wtmp, if this file exists.  After these actions, a call is
       done to reboot(2) which actually brings the system down.

       Time-specification may be something like 15:00, 15.00, +15, or now for a shutdown at 3pm (twice), 15 minutes from now, or immediately.

       The message may be used to describe why the system is going down, it may also be typed on standard input with the -m option.

OPTIONS

       -h     This flag prevents the system from rebooting after the shutdown.	The system can now be powered off.  This is the default.

       -r     This flag indicates that the system should reboot after shutting down.

       -R     Reboot the system by resetting it.  Normally the kernel will try to return to the Boot Monitor.  With -R the system will	receive  a
	      hardware reset.

       -x code
	      Halt  the  system  and  let the Monitor execute the given code as if typed at the monitor prompt.  You can for instance use -x 'boot
	      hd0' as a very fast way to reboot "from the top."

       -m     Allows the operator to type a shutdown message on standard input, that will be added to the messages displayed on all terminals.

       -k     This option gives the possibility of terminating an already started shutdown.  This is only possible if shutdown time  has  not  yet
	      arrived.

       -C     Check  if the system crashed.  This option is not used at shutdown time, but at reboot time.  It tells if the file systems should be
	      checked by testing if the last entry in the wtmp file is a shutdown entry.  (A crude replacement for a file system clean flag.)

FILES

       /usr/adm/wtmp, /etc/nologin, /usr/adm/authlog

SEE ALSO

       reboot(2), wall(1), halt(8), boot(8).
