Allright that help me understand a little. Many people would recommend architecting this somewhat differently -- try a shutdown immediate first, build something else into your scripting that will then do a shutdown abort if the shutdown immediate doesn't take and only then. Several ways to approach this in a script.

Similarly, build in some alerting and notification so that if things don't happen as you expect them to, someone finds out faster. Received on Mon Jan 31 2005 - 18:18:46 CST
