SHUTSPM -- Shut down SPM on a node.
usage:  shutspm


FORMAT

  SHUTSPM


  When  the  SPM  runs  in  place  of  the  DM,  it waits on the eventcount file
  `NODE_DATA/SPMSHUT_EC.  SHUTSPM advances this eventcount, causing the  SPM  to
  perform an orderly shutdown of the node.

  To  shut  down  the  SPM  with  SHUTSPM,  create a remote process (via the CRP
  command) on the target node and type 'SHUTSPM'.

  Normally, only system administrators may shut down the SPM using this command.
  This  is because SPM creates the `NODE_DATA/SPMSHUT_EC file with the following
  ACL (provided the  default  file  ACL  for  `NODE_DATA  gives  all  rights  to
  %.%.%.%):

        Subject ID      Access Rights

        %.sys_admin.%   pgndwrx
        %.%.%.%         ---d-r-

  This  ACL  limits  SHUTSPM  shutdown  to accounts with the 'sys_admin' project
  name, but permits any account to delete the SPMSHUT_EC file  whenever  SPM  is
  not  using  it.    If,  however,  the default file ACL for `NODE_DATA has been
  changed, SPM creates the eventcount file using that default ACL. Note that  an
  SID must have at least 'r' and 'w' rights to shutdown SPM.

  If  the SPMSHUT_EC file already exists when SPM starts up, SPM does not change
  its ACL.

  To prevent SPM from responding to the SHUTSPM command, add the following  line
  to the `NODE_DATA/STARTUP.SPM file:

    NO_SHUTSPM


EXAMPLES

    $ crp -on 1fb -login sys_admin     Create remote process on server node 1fb
                                       and log in with the system administrator
                                       account.

    $ shutspm                          Shut down the SPM on server node 1fb.
