Dear managers,
I'm a little confused about the shutdown behavior in Tru64 Unix Version 4.0F
and 5.x.
BSD and SYS V runlevels are mixed.
I will do a clean shutdown to runlevel 0 with running the kill scripts in
/sbin/rc?.d
Background: To ensure that a database (example oracle) is shutdown right.
Tru64 5.x
Will a simple 'shutdown -h now' do it, or is it better to shutdown the
system with
'init 0' or 'shutdown -hs now'?
In my opinion the command 'shutdown -h now' will only terminate the init
process.
Tru64 4.0x
There is no 'shutdown -hs now' so my solution is to do a 'init 0'
The manpage says about the -h flag will do a broadcast kill signal.
What is a 'broadcast kill signal?
Is it a SIGTERM to all processes or is it something else?
Thank you for answering to my question
