NAME
       zshutdown_notify - notify users of impending shutdown via Zephyr

SYNOPSIS
       zshutdown_notify

DESCRIPTION
       zshutdown_notify  reads	the  standard input until EOF is reached, and then sends a Zephyr notice with the official hostname, the collected
       input, and a warning message as the message body of the notice.	The notice is sent to class FILSRV, instance  <hostname>,  recipient  "*",
       where <hostname> is the official hostname of the sending host.

       Any  users  who are using resources on the sending host are expected to subscribe to these messages so they will be warned of any impending
       shutdowns.

       zshutdown_notify is usually invoked from within /etc/shutdown.
