NAME

       ftpshut - close down the FTP Servers at a given time

SYNOPSIS

       ftpshut [-V] [-v] [-l min] [-d min] time [warning-message...]

DESCRIPTION

       The ftpshut command provides an automated shutdown procedure that the superuser can use to notify FTP users when the FTP Server is shutting
       down.

       Ten minutes before shutdown, or immediately if the value of time is less than ten minutes, any new FTP Server connections will be disabled.
       You may adjust the shutdown of new FTP Server connections by means of the -l option.

        Five  minutes  before shutdown, or immediately if the value of time is less than five minutes, all current FTP connections will be discon-
       nected. You may adjust the shutdown of current FTP connections by means of the -d option.

        The ftpshut command creates shutdown message files that the FTP Server uses to determine when to shutdown. Separate shutdown message files
       are  created  in  the  anonymous and virtual host FTP Server areas, in addition to the system wide shutdown message file. Once the shutdown
       occurs, the server continues to refuse connections until the appropriate shutdown message file is removed. This normally is done  by  using
       the ftprestart(1M) command. The location of the shutdown message file is specified by the shutdown capability in the ftpaccess file.

       The following magic cookies are available:

       %s       The time system is going to shut down.

       %r       The time new connections will be denied.

       %d       The time current connections will be dropped.

       %C       The current working directory.

       %E       The maintainer's email address as defined in the ftpaccess file.

       %F       The free space in the partition of CWD, in kilobytes.

       %L       The local host name.

       %M       The maximum allowed number of users in this class.

       %N       The current number of users in this class.

       %R       The remote host name.

       %T       The local time (form Thu Nov 15 17:12:42 1990).

       %U       The username given at login time.

OPTIONS

       The ftpshut command supports the following options:

       -V       Display program copyright and version information, then terminate.

       -d min   The  time  ahead  of shutdown, in minutes, that existing connections will be disconnected upon completion of their current or next
                (if idle) FTP request.

       -l min   The time ahead of shutdown, in minutes, that new connections will be refused.

       -v       Verbose. Output the pathname of the shutdown message files created.

OPERANDS

       The ftpshut command supports the following operands:

       time                    The time at which ftpshut will bring the FTP Servers down. time can have a value of now, which indicates an immedi-
                               ate  shutdown. Alternatively, time can specify a future time in one of two formats: +number or HHMM. The first form
                               brings the FTP Server down in number minutes. The second brings the FTP Server down at the time of  day  indicated,
                               using  a  24-hour  clock  format.  When  using the absolute time format, you can only specify times between now and
                               23:59.

       warning-message         The message to display that warns of the imminent shutdown. The warning-message will be formatted at 70  characters
                               wide.  ftpshut  knows the actual string length of the magic cookies. If no warning-message is supplied, the default
                               message "System shutdown at %s" is used.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0        Successful completion.

       >0       An error occurred.
