I am so screwed because I have no clue what is happening on most of the servers. You see I am a dba and was tasked with this "side" project because I new unix shell scripting. I was given a server list and told to create an emergency shutdown script that will bring the servers down quickly, but not painfully like a recent power failure did. I still do not know why this was not assigned to syseng. (We are way under-staffed in syseng).
its a matter of how much pressure you can create.
how much you can force other depts in the company to give you the info, or how much you can sustain when they dont, and your script destroys their data
on a side note, try your best, and ask for money :P

rpc_allow_remote_shutdown
rpc_allow_remote_shutdown(3ncs) rpc_allow_remote_shutdown(3ncs)
Name
rpc_allow_remote_shutdown - allow or disallow remote shutdown of a server (server only)
Syntax
#include <idl/c/rpc.h>
void rpc_$allow_remote_shutdown(allow, checkproc, status)
unsigned long allow;
rpc_$shut_check_fn_t checkproc;
status_$t *status;
Arguments
allow A value indicating `false' if zero, `true' otherwise.
checkproc A pointer to a Boolean function.
status The completion status. If the completion status returned in is equal to status_$ok , then the routine that supplied it
was successful.
Description
The routine allows or disallows remote callers to shut down a server using
By default, servers do not allow remote shutdown via If a server calls with allow true (not zero) and checkproc nil, then remote shutdown
will be allowed. If allow is true and checkproc is not nil, then when a remote shutdown request arrives, the function denoted by checkproc
is called and the shutdown is allowed if the function returns true. If allow is false (zero), remote shutdown is disallowed.
Diagnostics
This section lists status codes for errors returned by this routine in
rpc_$not_in_call An internal error.
rpc_$you_crashed This error can occur if a server has crashed and restarted. A client RPC runtime library sends the error to the server
if the client makes a remote procedure call before the server crashes, then receives a response after the server
restarts.
rpc_$proto_error An internal protocol error.
