dxshutdown(8)							 dxshutdown(8)

NAME
       dxshutdown - Performs various types of automated system shutdown.

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/bin/X11/dxshutdown

DESCRIPTION
       The  dxshutdown	application  provides  the system administrator with a
       graphical user interface for running user-specified scripts at shutdown
       time  in addition to performing the following types of automated system
       shutdown: Halt (and restart console mode) Reboot Single-user mode shut‐
       down Message-only shutdown

       If  invoked  from  the SysMan menu, the leaf is labelled “Shutdown” and
       the application is labelled “Shutdown targeted on hostname.”

       Dependencies: None.  You do not need to	configure  anything  prior  to
       running Shutdown Manager.

       You must be root to run dxshutdown.

       The application lets the system administrator display one or more warn‐
       ing messages prior to system shutdown. The dxshutdown command uses  the
       Tru64  UNIX  shutdown command as an API, passing command-line arguments
       as specified by application defaults and user inputs.

       The shutdown application provides the  following	 features,  which  the
       shutdown	 command  does not provide: Selection of a pre-shutdown script
       to be executed prior to system shutdown Easy cancellation for  a	 shut‐
       down  while the timed countdown is in progress Maintenance of an error-
       and-script output log under /var/adm/sysman/dxshutdown.log  Saving  and
       restoring  user-selected	 shutdown options over multiple invocations of
       the Shutdown Manager application

       For additional information about the graphical user interface, see  the
       online help volume, which is available from the Help button in the main
       window of the SysMan “Shutdown” application.

       To start dxshutdown from the graphical user  interface:	Click  on  the
       SysMan  Application  button on the CDE front panel.  Click on the Daily
       Administration application group icon.  Double click on the  “Shutdown”
       application icon.

       Note on Prior dxshutdown Version

       Since   the   release   of   Tru64   UNIX   Version  5.0,  the  command
       /usr/bin/X11/dxshutdown is a wrapper shell script that runs the	SysMan
       shutdown	 program.   Prior  to  Version	5.0, dxshutdown was an X motif
       application.  The X Motif version of dxshutdown is shipped in an	 obso‐
       lete  subset.  The  new dxshutdown shell script can run the old version
       when it is installed as /usr/bin/X11/dxshutdown_old. Use the  following
       command: # /usr/bin/X11/dxshutdown -old

EXAMPLES
       To start Shutdown Manager from the command line, enter: dxshutdown
