If this is a cluster or there are NFS mounts you will need special instructions to shut down in a sensible manner. These instructions may or may not include a "shutdown" command.
You will need to know more about you "special login thru a console" and what piece of hardware you are connected to and how to toggle between console and server remote management. Is it an iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) or a MP (Management Processor) or a Web Console? We assume it is not just a telnet session.
The unix "shutdown" command just shuts down the Operating System and halts the processor. It does not turn the power off. Most remote power controls only control the system unit not any add-on hardware such as disc arrays.
Beware that unix "shutdown" does not shut down databases etc. unless "rc" scripts have been installed to achieve this.
If you are in a hurryand you have already closed all applications and client connection, this method answers any prompts:

I don't think any function with the name of sleep() exits in Unix's C language. or perhaps I am not known with the header file... (3 Replies)

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.
