SHUTDOWN/REBOOT
You can use this program to either shutdown or reboot all hosts in
the current pool. When you use this option, the following window
appears:
This window has the following fields:
Hostnames
Use this field if you want to perform the shutdown/reboot operation
only on a subset of the currently managed hosts. You can also click
on the arrow button to the right to bring up a pick list of all
currently managed hosts and make your selections from there. Leave a
blank space between each host name if you are specifying multiple
entries.
If you leave this field blank, all hosts in the current pool will be
shutdown/reboot.
Delay Time
You can use this field to specify a delay before the shutdown/reboot
occurs. The delay time should give users enough time to prepare for
the system shutdown/reboot.The default is 60 seconds.
This field will accept both relative and absolute time formats. See
"TIME FORMATS" on page C-1 for more details.
Countdown
Use this toggle to choose whether a countdown should occur prior to
starting the shutdown or reboot. A countdown will display warning
messages at regular intervals to the terminals of all hosts being
taken down or rebooted. The default is Yes.
Banner mode
Use this toggle to choose whether the (user-definable) broadcast
message should be displayed in extremely large text. This message
should be relatively brief. The default is Yes.
Reconfigure
Use this toggle to choose whether the hosts should be reconfigured
when they are rebooted. The default is Yes.
Shutdown Options
Use this toggle to choose whether the hosts should be put in an
initialized state of a single-user mode when they are shutdown. The
default is Off. This choice only matters if you then use the
Shutdown button.
Note: Some systems, like Solaris 2.x will cut power to the CPU
during a shutdown.

You can use this text field to type in the message to be broadcast
to all hosts prior to shutdown. Otherwise, the default message
"System Going Down in n Minutes" will be used.
