10.0;shut *DM*, revision 1.0, 87/12/23
shut shut down system
usage: shut [-f]
DESCRIPTION
The shut command exits from the DM and shuts down the system. The DM
first closes all windows and pads, then unloads the operating system and
enters the Mnemonic Debugger that resides in the node's boot programmable
read-only memory (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.
Type ex domain_os in the Mnemonic Debugger to restart the system.
Specify the -f option to force either logout or shutdown. You can
achieve the same effect by reponding "y" to a request to blast processes
that cannot be closed normally. If you use this, however, remember that
some disk space may be lost if processes cannot be terminated normally.
Use the salvager salvol to recover the disk space,.
