Shut Down the OS (shutdown Command) - SPARC T7 Series Servers Administration Guide

Language:

Shut Down the OS (`shutdown` Command)

The shutdown command sends a warning message, then terminates active processes on a system to reach a specified run level. Specifying run level 0 shuts down the OS and displays the OpenBoot prompt.

Log in to Oracle Solaris as a user with root privileges.

Shut down the OS.
In this example, these command options shut down the OS to the OpenBoot prompt:
- -g0 – Specifies a grace period of 0 seconds.
- -i0 – Specifies the run level 0, which is equivalent to the init 0 command.
- -y – Pre-answers the confirmation question so that the command runs without user intervention.
Note - This document applies to several server products. The following example is based on the SPARC T7-1 server. Your output might vary from the examples based on your product.
```
# shutdown -g0 -i0 -y
# svc.startd: The system is coming down. Please wait.
