I've got critical patching this weekend on 6 HP UX machines, back to back and the customer has requested to shutdown, and halt the machines and to bring it up at a later period. The thing is the servers are located offshore and we are just the support team. I have a special login thru a console where I can shutdown and bring up the servers.
Here's the shutdown and halt command:
Code:
shutdown -h now
What is the command to start up without actual pressing on the power on button?
Im using HP UX 11.31 here
Thanks in advance.

be kind and reply me please. I need to put up calendar notification for the guy to run commands on Sunday
if you shutdown the server electrically there IS NO command to turn it back on, your OS is in a coma !! your CPU/RAM are empty .
If you dont have a remote management system that controls the power switch , you will have to ask the security gard to push the right button

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)

shutdown(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands shutdown(1B)NAME
shutdown - close down the system at a given time
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/shutdown [-fhknr] time [warning-message]...
DESCRIPTION
shutdown provides an automated procedure to notify users when the system is to be shut down. time specifies when shutdown will bring the
system down; it may be the word now (indicating an immediate shutdown), or it may specify a future time in one of two formats: +number and
hour:min. The first form brings the system down in number minutes, and the second brings the system down at the time of day indicated in
24-hour notation.
At intervals that get closer as the apocalypse approaches, warning messages are displayed at terminals of all logged-in users, and of users
who have remote mounts on that machine.
At shutdown time a message is written to the system log daemon, syslogd(1M), containing the time of shutdown, the instigator of the shut-
down, and the reason. Then a terminate signal is sent to init, which brings the system down to single-user mode.
OPTIONS
As an alternative to the above procedure, these options can be specified:
-f Arrange, in the manner of fastboot(1B), that when the system is rebooted, the file systems will not be checked.
-h Execute halt(1M).
-k Simulate shutdown of the system. Do not actually shut down the system.
-n Prevent the normal sync(2) before stopping.
-r Execute reboot(1M).
FILES
/etc/rmtab remote mounted file system table
