powerdown(8)                        CLIX                        powerdown(8)



  NAME

    powerdown - Stops all processes and turns off system power

  SYNOPSIS

    powerdown [-y|-Y]

  FLAGS

    -y   Prevents the questions from being asked and just gives the warning
         messages.  There is a 60 second pause between the warning messages.
         Note that pressing the standby button on the side of the cabinet will
         accomplish the same thing.

    -Y   Is the same as -y except it does not pause between messages.  It is
         the fastest way to bring the system down.

  DESCRIPTION

    The powerdown command brings the system to a state where nothing is
    running then turns off the power.

    By default, the user is asked questions that control how much warning the
    other users are given.

    The identical function is also available under the sysadm command sysadm
    powerdown.

    Password control can be instituted on this command.  See sysadm, admpasswd
    subcommand.

  EXAMPLES

    In the example that follows, the first command is run to completion, then
    the machine turns off:

    some-long-running-command; powerdown -y

    This command line is useful for, say, formatting a document to the printer
    at the end of a day.

  FILES

    /etc/shutdown   Invoked by powerdown

  EXIT VALUES

    does not exist in /etc/passwd
