I'm not sure that I fully understand what you are saying so this is not intended to be an answer to your question but might just tell you something that you don't already know.

I believe this box has a System Controller (that's an underlying Linux appliance that controls the hardware platform and boot process.

The serial console connection can talk to the console OR the System Controller. If you are connected to the system console and you want to talk to the System Controller then you enter #. (hash-dot), no return needed. You then get the SC> prompt. If you are connected to the System Controller and you want to talk to the console then you enter the command "console" at the SC> prompt and it connects you to the console.

There are two ways to power off the box (other than the shutdown command you posted).

1. Enter "init 5" at the session level. Run-level 5 means shutdown & power off. For this to work the some System Controller commands must be configured properly.

2. Enter "init 0" at the session level. This will take the system down to the "ok" prompt. At this prompt enter #. to switch to the SC. At the SC> prompt enter the command "poweroff". It will ask you to confirm that you really really mean it but if you confirm and just wait for about 60 seconds, you will get confirmation that power to the box is gone.

Hope that helps.
