SHUT *DM* -- Shut down system.
usage: shut [-f]


FORMAT

  SHUT [-F]


  The SHUT command exits from the Display Manager and shuts down the system.
  The DM first closes all windows and pads, then unloads the operating system
  (AEGIS) and enters the Mnemonic Debugger that resides in the node's boot PROM.
  If user processes are still active, the SHUT command attempts to stop them.
  If they stop normally, the shutdown proceeds.  If the DM cannot stop them
  normally, the SHUT command aborts.

  The SHUT command has the same effect on system software as turning the node
  power key to the OFF position or pressing the POWER DOWN button.

  To restart the system, type EX AEGIS in the Mnemonic Debugger.

  To force shut down, specify the -F option.  (The same effect can be achieved
  by reponding "y" to a request to blast processes that cannot be closed
  normally.)  If you use this, however, be aware that some disk space may be
  lost if processes cannot be terminated normally.   To recover the disk space,
  use the salvager SALVOL (see HELP SALVOL).
