HP-UX Server & Unix Shutdown Command.

To shut down HP-UX for power-off, you can do any of the following:

# init 0 -- (Unix or Red hat linux )

# shutdown -h -y now

To shut down and reboot HP-UX:

# init 6 -- (Unix or Red hat linux )

# reboot

# shutdown -r -y now

To shut down HP-UX to single-user mode:

# init S

# shutdown -y now

# shutdown 0

The -h option to the shutdown command halts the system completely but

will prompt you for a message to issue users. The -y option completes

the shutdown without asking you any of the questions it would normally ask.
