dxshutdown(8)
NAME
  dxshutdown - Performs various types of automated system shutdown.

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/bin/X11/dxshutdown

OPTIONS
  The dxshutdown command accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command-line
  options, which are documented in the OPTIONS section of the X(1X) reference
  page.

DESCRIPTION
  The Shutdown Manager application, dxshutdown, provides the system
  administrator with a graphical user interface for running user-specified
  scripts at shutdown time in addition to performing the following types of
  automated system shutdown:

    ·  Halt (and restart console mode)

    ·  Reboot

    ·  Single-user mode shutdown

    ·  Message-only shutdown

  Dependencies: None.  You do not need to configure anything prior to running
  Shutdown Manager.

  You must be root to run Shutdown Manager.

  Shutdown Manager also lets the system administrator display one or more
  warning messages prior to system shutdown. The dxshutdown command uses the
  Tru64 UNIX shutdown command as an API, passing command-line arguments as
  specified by application defaults and user inputs.

  The Shutdown Manager also provides the following features, which the
  shutdown command does not provide:

    ·  Selection of a preshutdown script to be executed prior to system
       shutdown

    ·  Easy cancellation for a shutdown while the timed countdown is in
       progress

    ·  Maintenance of an error-and-script output log under
       /var/adm/sysman/dxshutdown.log

    ·  Saving and restoring user-selected shutdown options over multiple
       invocations of the Shutdown Manager application

  For additional information about the graphical user interface, see the
  online help volume, which is available from the Help button in the main
  window of the Shutdown Manager application.

  To start dxshutdown from the graphical user interface:

   1.  Click on the Application Manager icon on the CDE front panel.

   2.  Double click on the System_Admin application group icon.

   3.  Double click on the Daily Admin application group icon.

   4.  Double click on the Shutdown Manager application icon.
