10.4;ex (exit) *DM*, revision 2.0, 91/04/27
ex (exit) - exit DM to boot shell
usage:  ex



DESCRIPTION
     The ex command causes the system to stop the DM process and enter the
     boot shell.  This puts you in the same place that you would be if you had
     powered up your node with the normal/service switch set to service.

     To restart the DM, type

     ) init

     in the boot shell.

     This command differs from shut, which shuts the node's operating system
     down completely and enters the Mnemonic Debugger that resides in the
     node's boot programmable read-only memory (PROM).

     Do not confuse this command with the shell command exit, which exits a
     shell script loop.

WARNINGS
     ex is provided for system debugging purposes only. This command is not
     guaranteed to work properly under all circumstances and should not be
     used in place of shut to reboot the system.

SEE ALSO
     More information is available.  Type the following at an Aegis shell
     prompt:

     help shut      For details about shutting down your node

     help lo        For details about normal log out
