The SunOS release 5.7 shutdown command includes only the options in Table 8-5. This command and its options are described in System Administration Guide, Volume I.
Table 8-5 SunOS Release 5.7 shutdown Command Options
Option |
Description |
---|---|
-g |
Selects "grace" period before shutdown begins. |
-i [init state] |
Specifies an initial run level (see Table 8-3). |
-y |
Runs shutdown without asking confirmation questions. Assumes a "yes" response to all questions. |

By default, the SunOS release 5.7 shutdown command asks you to confirm before an actual shutdown begins. You can use the -y option to run it without operator intervention.
The shutdown options are available only in BSD source compatibility mode on Solaris 7 systems.
