Tips for Shutdown Files
Tips for Shutdown Files
HP recommends that you specify “N” for the read access portion of the file security
attribute (RWEP) for your shutdown files to allow the files to be read by any user on the
network. For example, you might secure these files “NCCC.”
The sequence in which you invoke shutdown files can be important. Some processes
require other processes to be stopped before they can be stopped. Be sure to indicate
the order in which shutdown files are to be run.
Shutdown File Examples
You can implement the system shutdown sequence with a collection of shutdown files,
each with a specific purpose. HP recommends that you invoke the shutdown files in
this order:
1. Shutdown files for the applications
2. Shutdown files for the communications lines
3. Shutdown files for the subsystems
4. Shutdown files for the system software
5. Shutdown file for the system
Note. Examples and sample programs are for illustration only and might not be suited for your
particular purpose. HP does not warrant, guarantee, or make any representations regarding
the use or the results of the use of any examples or sample programs in any documentation.
You must verify the applicability of any example or sample program before placing the software
into production use. For other information about these examples, see Example Command Files
