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
