SHUT -- Shut down system.
usage:  shut [-f]


FORMAT

  SHUT [-F]


  The  SHUT  command  exits  from the Display Manager and shuts down the system.
  The Display Manager first closes  all  windows  and  pads,  then  unloads  the
  operating  system (AEGIS) and enters the Mnemonic Debugger that resides in the
  node's boot PROM.  If user  processes  are  still  active,  the  SHUT  command
  attempts  to stop them.  If they stop normally, the shutdown proceeds.  If the
  Display Manager cannot stop them normally, the SHUT command aborts.

  The SHUT command has the same effect on system software as  turning  the  node
  power key to the OFF position or pressing the POWER DOWN button.

  To restart the system, type EX AEGIS in the Mnemonic Debugger.

  To force either log off or shut down, specify the -F option.  (The same effect
  can  be  achieved by reponding "y" to a request to blast processes that cannot
  be closed normally.)  If you use this, however, be aware that some disk  space
  may  be  lost if processes cannot be terminated normally.  To recover the disk
  space, use the salvager SALVOL.  See the SALVOL  (SALVAGE_VOLUME)  command  in
  the DOMAIN System Command Reference Manual.
