ftpshut(1M) System Administration Commands ftpshut(1M)NAMEftpshut - close down the FTP Servers at a given time
SYNOPSISftpshut [-V] [-v] [-l min] [-d min] time [warning-message...]
DESCRIPTION
The ftpshut command provides an automated shutdown procedure that the
superuser can use to notify FTP users when the FTP Server is shutting
down.
Ten minutes before shutdown, or immediately if the value of time is
less than ten minutes, any new FTP Server connections will be disabled.
You may adjust the shutdown of new FTP Server connections by means of
the -l option.
Five minutes before shutdown, or immediately if the value of time is
less than five minutes, all current FTP connections will be discon‐
nected. You may adjust the shutdown of current FTP connections by means
of the -d option.
The ftpshut command creates shutdown message files that the FTP Server
uses to determine when to shutdown. Separate shutdown message files are
created in the anonymous and virtual host FTP Server areas, in addition
to the system wide shutdown message file. Once the shutdown occurs, the
server continues to refuse connections until the appropriate shutdown
message file is removed. This normally is done by using the
ftprestart(1M) command. The location of the shutdown message file is
specified by the shutdown capability in the ftpaccess file.
The following magic cookies are available:
%s The time system is going to shut down.
%r The time new connections will be denied.
%d The time current connections will be dropped.
%C The current working directory.
%E The maintainer's email address as defined in the ftpaccess
file.
%F The free space in the partition of CWD, in kilobytes.
%L The local host name.
%M The maximum allowed number of users in this class.
%N The current number of users in this class.
%R The remote host name.
%T The local time (form Thu Nov 15 17:12:42 1990).
%U The username given at login time.
OPTIONS
The ftpshut command supports the following options:
-V Display program copyright and version information, then termi‐
nate.
-d min The time ahead of shutdown, in minutes, that existing connec‐
tions will be disconnected upon completion of their current or
next (if idle) FTP request.
-l min The time ahead of shutdown, in minutes, that new connections
will be refused.
-v Verbose. Output the pathname of the shutdown message files
created.
OPERANDS
The ftpshut command supports the following operands:
time The time at which ftpshut will bring the FTP
Servers down. time can have a value of now,
which indicates an immediate shutdown. Alterna‐
tively, time can specify a future time in one
of two formats: +number or HHMM. The first form
brings the FTP Server down in number minutes.
The second brings the FTP Server down at the
time of day indicated, using a 24-hour clock
format. When using the absolute time format,
you can only specify times between now and
23:59.
warning-message The message to display that warns of the immi‐
nent shutdown. The warning-message will be for‐
matted at 70 characters wide. ftpshut knows the
actual string length of the magic cookies. If
no warning-message is supplied, the default
message "System shutdown at %s" is used.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
