Shut Down the OS (shutdown Command) - SPARC T8 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 and assume the root role.

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 T8-1 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.
svc.startd: 106 system services are now being stopped.
