I have an interesting question...
I've just installed APC Power Chute Plus software.... I'm a little suspicious
about how they do a system shutdown, and am looking for possible alternatives.
In normal circumstances, one would do a "shutdown time" to bring a Digital Unix
system to single user mode, then do "shutdown -h now" to get it to the
console prompt.
On several occasions in the past we did "shutdown -h now" from a fully
operation system, and ended up corrupting several log files and our NSR
index data base!!!!!
Question:
Is there a clean way to bring a system down gracefully, to the halt prompt
from inside a script???
ie: Cleanly shutdown NSR, nfs etc, unmount file system and come to a halt.....
Any thoughts and experience would be appreciated....
Regards,
Erik
