  smgrutil(8)                         CLIX                         smgrutil(8)



  NAME

    smgrutil - Reboots/shuts down without logging into smgr as root

  SYNOPSIS

    /usr/ip32/smgr/smgrutil [-confirm] -shutdown

    /usr/ip32/smgr/smgrutil [-confirm] -reboot

    /usr/ip32/smgr/smgrutil -console [args]

  FLAGS

    -confirm    Displays the Confirm menu, letting the user confirm the
                decision to shut down or reboot the system.

    -console    Runs /usr/ip32/vt200/vterm -l -console.  Any additional
                arguments that are valid with vterm may be specified in args
                (see vterm(1)).

    -reboot     Runs /etc/reboot.

    -shutdown   Runs /etc/shutdown.

  DESCRIPTION

    The smgrutil command is provided so that a user can run /etc/reboot and
    /etc/shutdown can be run without logging into smgr as root.  It also
    allows the console to run as a user with no privileges.

    Workstation reboot and shutdown commands normally do not run unless the
    user is logged in as root.  Using smgrutil with the -shutdown or -reboot
    flag allows a user to shutdown or reboot from the smgr pulldown menu
    without being superuser (root).  The Confirm menu displays if -confirm is
    passed as a flag to smgrutil.

    The smgrutil command will run the console as a user with no privileges,
    since the console needs to be run before the workstation user has been
    established.  This allows system error messages directed to the console to
    display before a smgr login.

    The default /usr/ip32/smgr/smgr_pd file uses smgrutil to run reboot,
    shutdown, and the console.
