Shut Down the OS (init Command)

The init command is an executable shell script that terminates all active processes on a system and then synchronizes the disks before changing run levels. Specifying run level 0 shuts down the OS and displays the OpenBoot prompt.

1. Log in to Oracle Solaris as a user with root privileges.
2. Shut down the OS.
