Shut Down (for authorized users only)

Shut Down lets you shut down your machine (if you are authorized). This is not the normal way of ending a Trusted Solaris session; the normal logout method is clicking the Exit icon in the switch area of the Front Panel. When you select Shut Down, you are first queried for confirmation and then permitted to shut down the workstation. If you need to turn off your machine, you should use the Shut Down command and then turn off your power.

If you do shut down your machine, rebooting it may require further authorization and extra passwords depending on your site's security policy.
