NAME

       dxshutdown - Performs various types of automated system shutdown.

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/X11/dxshutdown

       reference page.

DESCRIPTION

       The Shutdown Manager application, dxshutdown, provides the system administrator with a graphical user interface for running  user-specified
       scripts at shutdown time in addition to performing the following types of automated system shutdown: Halt (and restart console mode) Reboot
       Single-user mode shutdown Message-only shutdown

       Dependencies: None.  You do not need to configure anything prior to running Shutdown Manager.

       You must be root to run Shutdown Manager.

       Shutdown Manager also lets the system administrator display one or more warning messages prior to system shutdown. The  dxshutdown  command
       uses the Tru64 UNIX shutdown command as an API, passing command-line arguments as specified by application defaults and user inputs.

       The  Shutdown  Manager also provides the following features, which the shutdown command does not provide: Selection of a preshutdown script
       to be executed prior to system shutdown Easy cancellation for a shutdown while the timed countdown is in progress Maintenance of an  error-
       and-script output log under /var/adm/sysman/dxshutdown.log Saving and restoring user-selected shutdown options over multiple invocations of
       the Shutdown Manager application

       For additional information about the graphical user interface, see the online help volume, which is available from the Help button  in  the
       main window of the Shutdown Manager application.

       To  start  dxshutdown from the graphical user interface: Click on the Application Manager icon on the CDE front panel.  Double click on the
       System_Admin application group icon.  Double click on the Daily Admin application group icon.  Double click on the Shutdown Manager  appli-
       cation icon.
