.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
provides an automated shutdown procedure for super-users
to nicely notify users when the system is shutting down,
saving them from system administrators, hackers, and gurus, who
would otherwise not bother with such niceties.
.Pp
Available friendlinesses:
.Bl -tag -width time
1998-01-21 02:24:46 +03:00
.It Fl d
.Nm
will pass the
.Fl d
flag to
.Xr reboot 8
or
.Xr halt 8 .
1998-10-29 21:55:27 +03:00
If neither the
1998-01-21 02:24:46 +03:00
.Fl h
or
.Fl r
flags are specified, then
.Fl d
also implies
.Fl r .
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
.It Fl f
.Nm
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
arranges, in the manner of
.Xr fastboot 8 ,
for the file systems
.Em not to be
checked on reboot.
.It Fl h
The system is halted at the specified
.Ar time
when
.Nm
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
execs
.Xr halt 8 .
.It Fl k
1997-09-16 16:54:42 +04:00
Kick everybody off.
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
The
.Fl k
option
does not actually halt the system, but leaves the
system multi-user with logins disabled (for all but super-user).
.It Fl n
Prevent the normal
.Xr sync 2
before stopping.
.It Fl p
The system is powered down at the specified
.Ar time
when
.Nm
execs
.Xr halt 8 .
If the powerdown fails, or the system does not support software powerdown,
the system will simply halt.
2001-11-16 13:25:42 +03:00
.It Fl r
1998-01-21 02:24:46 +03:00
The system is rebooted at the specified
.Ar time
when
.Nm
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
execs
1998-01-21 02:24:46 +03:00
.Xr reboot 8 .
.It Fl D
Prevents
.Nm
from detaching from the tty with
.Xr fork 2 /
.Xr exit 3 .
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
.It Ar time
.Ar Time
is the time at which
.Nm
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
will bring the system down and
may be the word
.Ar now
1998-01-21 02:24:46 +03:00
or a future time in one of two formats:
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
.Ar +number ,
or
1998-01-21 02:24:46 +03:00
.Ar [[[[[cc]yy]mm]dd]hh]mm ,
where the century, year, month, day, and hour may be defaulted
1998-04-29 13:49:10 +04:00
to the current system values.
The first form brings the system down
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
.Ar number
1998-01-21 02:24:46 +03:00
minutes from the current time; the second brings the system down at the
absolute time specified.
If the century is not specified, it defaults to 1900 for years between 69
and 99, or 2000 for years between 0 and 68.
A leading zero in the
.Dq yy
value is
.Em not
optional.
1998-01-21 02:24:46 +03:00
.It Ar message ...
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
Any other arguments comprise the warning message that is broadcast
to users currently logged into the system.
1998-01-21 02:24:46 +03:00
.It Ar -
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
If
1998-01-21 02:24:46 +03:00
.Ar -
is supplied as the only argument after the time, the warning message is read
from the standard input.
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
.El
.Pp
At intervals, becoming more frequent as apocalypse approaches
and starting at ten hours before shutdown, warning messages are displayed
1998-04-29 13:49:10 +04:00
on the terminals of all users logged in.
Five minutes before shutdown, or immediately if shutdown is in less
than 5 minutes, logins are disabled by creating
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
.Pa /etc/nologin
1998-04-29 13:49:10 +04:00
and copying the warning message there.
If this file exists when a user attempts to log in,
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
.Xr login 1
1998-04-29 13:49:10 +04:00
prints its contents and exits.
The file is removed just before
.Nm
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
exits.
.Pp
At shutdown time a message is written in the system log, containing the
time of shutdown, who initiated the shutdown and the reason.
Next a message is printed announcing the start of the system shutdown hooks.
Then the shutdown hooks in
.Pa /etc/rc.shutdown
are run.
And a message is printed indicating that they have completed.
After a short delay a terminate
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
signal is then sent to
1998-04-29 13:49:10 +04:00
.Xr init 8
to bring the system down to single-user state (depending on above options).
The time of the shutdown and the warning message are placed in
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
.Pa /etc/nologin
1998-04-29 13:49:10 +04:00
and should be used to inform the users about when the system will
be back up and why it is going down (or anything else).
