4. Automate System Shutdown

Automating system shutdown aids the operator in bringing the system to an orderly

halt. You can implement the system shutdown sequence with a collection of shutdown

files, each with a specific purpose.

Be sure to indicate the order in which shutdown files are to be run; the sequence in

which you invoke shutdown files is important. The shutdown file sequence reverses the

order of commands in the startup file sequence. Some processes require that other

processes be stopped before they can be stopped. Shut down your system by invoking

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

Tips for Shutdown Files

It is recommended that you specify “N” for the read access portion of the file security

attribute (RWEP) for your shutdown files to allow the file to be read by any user on the

network. For example, you might secure these files “NCCC.”
